Towing help
I have a 2019 Ford F-250 and recently purchased a 2021 Salem Hemisphere travel trailer. I’m struggling with the tongue weight. I had a 25’ Cruiser Shadow and no problem there as it had pass thru front...

Ha, no worries! Had me confused though!
Personally I wouldn't waste my time going back to the scales. Your truck, based on your sig and picture is about 3300lbs empty rear axle weight. Call it 3500lbs because they never get lighter.
Regardless, you have plenty of tongue weight on the trailer. And based solely on your FA weights, you put back about half of what you lost, which is great.
(Not necessary, though, IMO save for helping out your rear springs if they need it. Loosing 400lbs off the front of a diesel is like replacing the engine with a gasser and those drive fine, right?)
Crank it up a little or crank it down a little on weight transfer and see if it helps your preference, but sounds like what you experienced isn't due to not enough tongue weight.
Your truck won't care either way, it's plenty big enough to drop the trailer on the ball and head out!
