From this I believe that shows our loaded trailer weighed 7280. Beyond that, I'm not sure what it all means. Is it normal that our front end weight would drop 260 pounds with the trailer hooked up? I understand the weight on the bumper lessens the weight on the front end, but are our weights in line with what is normal?
Your measured axle loads indicate the WDH was very poorly adjusted.
The TT's indicated tongue weight is about 890# with only 30# being transferred to the TT's axles via the WDH.
To return the steer axle to its unhitched load of 4200# would have required the WDH to transfer about 160# to the TT's axles.
So, as others have pointed out, there are two things you need to do:
1) Find someone who can overhaul the F-350's front suspension, if necessary, and do a proper alignment, and
2) Either learn how to adjust the WDH yourself, or find an RV shop with technicians who are capable of making a proper adjustment.
