the higher one lifts the tongue jack the higher one also lifts the rear of the truck and much greater is the force that's transferred to the truck's front axle. :(
Replace "much greater" with "hardly any greater" and you will be right.
With the weight bars engaged, you will actually be REDUCING the amount of weight on the front axle as you raise the jack, because you are unloading the weight bars.
The slight change in angle of the truck from jacking the rear up with the tongue jack will not appreciably increase the weight on the front axle. How would you change a rear tire on the truck otherwise?
