Risk of Putting Slightly More Weight Back To Front Axle

Dialing in my equalizer 4 point and have a simple question... my truck with no trailer front axle weight is 3500 pounds on a scale with a full tank and loaded ready to go... I ran across the scale...

On my setup I have increased the weight on my front axle by about 75 lbs more than unloaded. This gives me the best towing performance. I think the key here is if you do this is to not unload the rear axle, and have the rear axle still loaded by at least (if not more) the same amount as the front. In my case I have about 200 lbs on the rear, 75 on the front.
