Your front axle has more weight with the WDS than it does with no trailer attached. That shouldn't happen. You need to reduce the WDS tension some. Yes, I know it isn't a LOT more, but it shouldn't be more, at all.
You reduce tongue weight by shifting where you load stuff in/on the trailer. Move stuff from in front of the trailer axles to behind the trailer axles.
