I understand what you are trying to do. You have to realize that your weight distribution hitch has it's own weight. The weight of the hitch is about the same (give or take) as the weight that will be transferred to the trailer axles once setup. Therefore, in my opinion, there is no substantial gain in truck capacity to your train of thought. Example, If your weight distribution hitch weighs 100 lbs and you adjust the hitch to transfer 130 lbs to the trailer axles, you have only redistributed 30 lbs away from the truck because the hitch itself added payload weight. Since you are estimating, in my opinion, it's a variable that should be ignored.
