Id find some level ground.. get the hitch adjusted properly... It took me a few tries and 20 mile tows to get it feeling right. No white knuckle here.
He is set up best he is going to get.. He is taking over 500 lbs off the rear and restoring the front as best he can. If he tries to take more off rear he will add more weight to front axd thats not desireable. You only want to restore the front to stock weight never over.
Also I go by axle weights. IMO its fine to go over GVWR. Its what we do in the commercial sector as it based on axleweights and tires..
The tires carry the load...
