2000 lbs of tongue weight is 2000lbs of payload. If the wheel base is approx 160" and the distance from the center of the rear axle to the center of the trailer ball hitch is say 60" then the weight that 2000 lbs tongue weight would add to the rear axle is 2750 lbs. So the 2000 lb tongue load would add 2750 to the rear axle and cause 750 lbs to be removed from the front axle.
