The height of the rear wheel well should never be higher than the unloaded height. I got mine adjusted so that the front is only 100 lbs. lighter than the unloaded weight. The trailer tongue weight lifted 360 lbs. from the front and the WDH returned 260 lbs. back. So 72 percent of the weight lifted from the front was returned.
Please forgive my ignorance.. Im a little confused with your chart. I really like it the chart, so maybe it's just how Im reading it.
Your chart says your tongue weight is 900lbs. But, the Truck only Drive axle weight is 2740 and with trailer hooked up, but WD bars not used, it is 4000. So, doesn't that make your actual trailers tongue weight 1260 (or maybe 1160 if you assume 100 lbs for the hitch)?
EDIT: I think I see now. When you say 360 lbs transferred from front to back due to the trailer without hitch, that 360 is not part of the trailers tongue weight, it's still truck weight that moved. That's how you got 900. Took me a few mins staring at your post to see that.
