I did get measurements front and rear before. I didnt get the.measurements of just the tongue weight . And I didn't remeasure the front after tightening the chains. The dealership lot was not completely level and it started to rain/snow so I was kinda wanting to get going. The back before was 43.5" and when I stopped setting up the hitch it was 43". The chains could have been tightened more but I was good at .5" difference given the circumstances. I've got several trips planned this summer so I will be able to hitch and unhitch many more times and will provide feedback. We are hoping to take the trailer out on the 8th but only about 30miles away
