Chrispitude, it looks like you have a near perfect setup there. You are very close to 100% FALR which, to many of us, is the goal.
"FALR"?
Front Axle Load Restoration
100% FALR would be getting his weight distribution hitch adjusted so that when the trailer is hooked up, the front ( steer ) axle weighs the same as is did as the truck sits without the trailer.
His truck weighed 3320 on the front axle by itself. He is now adjusted to where the front axle is at 3260. That means he has restored approx 80% of what he had lost. He may want to re-adjust to get the front axle back to 3320, which would be 100%.
The truck manufacturers typically call for between 50% to 100% FALR. He may be good set as it is now. Driving it will help determine that.
