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...

You never want to have any weight removed from the steer axle when towing anything, adding weight to the steer is ideal. That is why they invented the equlizing hitch, to transfer weight to the steer. You have found out the reason for doing this. Better control and stabiity.
