Here is the sticker.
And the hitch.
As it was setup the rear is only 1 3/8 lower than the front at the wheel well. I went ahead at dropped it one hole which took the weight off the front but added 100 more to the back. Here are the weights for it
F: 3180 R: 3640 Trailer: 4920
Forgot tires 50pd max at 2469 weight
OK. How many washers are in the ball to tilt it back??
You need to adjust it at more of an angle. Then the bars will take more weight off the rear. But now that I think of it that will add more weight to the front..
You do not want to go over your axle ratings. You only have 370 lbs left to add to your truck before you go over on the rear. Dropping it a notch as you did is not the solution as I did not know what your trucks axle weights were. That made things worse.
The previous set up I think is the best you may get.
The problem is your TW is 1020 lbs and is 17.7%. Dude thats heavy.
What do you have in the camper in front storage?
Who do you plan on carrying in the truck with you?
Was the weights you gave with you in the truck only? ( or wife/kids?)
As your previous weights show I think thats the best you are going to get. Technically you are supposed to restore front axle to truck alone weight, but that 40lbs aint much to worry about.
Hmm.. As was stated your best to get some weight out of the camper..
Can you post model? Its a coachmen right?
Also put max psi in tires when towing..
Last you may need to install a large trans cooler.
