Yes here is your data.
Is this the truck and camper fully loaded and a full tank of fuel with all people and gear?
You are within 50 lbs of your rear trucks axle weight.
Something seems amiss here.
You have a 740 lb TW @ 10.2%
Can your drive axle rear truck alone weight of 3140 be correct?
Example my 2006 silvy only has a 3750 rear axle rate. My full fuel and me in truck is 2300 lbs rear. 3750-2300= 1450 payload.
Yours 3950-3140= 810 lb payload. Something wrong maybe.
If its true , yes, get more weight up front by tilting head more. And reweigh...
Problem is you will loose % on tongue. Make sure trailer is tilted down some towards the nose of trailer to truck.
Post a pic of the truck trailer and WD assemble all hooked up.
