If you are hooking up totally level with both truck and trailer, left to right, and perfectly straight on with each other (like that always happens!!!), weight wouldn't be any issue. If either is not level or if angled to one side, then of course, one side would need more effort.
On my DC, I can feel that the right side generally needs a bit more effort, and that of course depends on alignment, and campsite!! BUT, I have found that one of my three heads I have acquired, isn't welded exactly vertical!! (Great work nowdays!!) Also, when you hook up one side, the head will tilt toward the unhooked side, depending on how much play is in your receiver, creating a bit more effort lifting the second side.
Of course, as the weight police always say, you should weigh your setup and that can determine if it is that much out of balance!!!!
