I'm a little confused by owner's manual statement.....
It doesn't tell me what percentage loaded restoration weight should be.....50% or 100% of unloaded weight?
That can be a bit confusing. The fact that it's saying "within a half inch of unloaded height", indicates it is not looking for 100% restoration.
The reason for not raising rear end higher than unhitched level is, at that point you've restored too much front weight, and removed some of your traction at the rear.
I would try the measurement method, just out of curiosity, to see if maybe that "within .5 inch" is close to 1/2 of the height differences.
================================================================
Example:
Say the front measurement (unhitched) is twenty inches, hitched up (without WD applied) it is 21 inches, and with WD you bring it back to 20.5 inches, that would indicate about 50% weight restoration. If it went from 20 inches, up to 22 inches, and back down to 20.5 inches, that would indicate more like 75%.

Here's a link to another scale weight calculator.
