As stated here just add one washer at a time and do several passes over the scale. Get the weight without WD hooked up too.
Input here..

You want to do one washer at a time becuase as you raise the rear with a washer the truck may lower itself . That will add even more weight to the front of the truck.
But its my opinion you probably will end up putting all the washers in to tilt the head back as far as possible.
You have a lot of TW it would seem.
I would also drop the ball a hole... Better to have the trailer nose down some.
And no. You dont need more TW... I have no clue why anyone here is suggesting that.
His front end is light due to the air ride. When the rear of the truck lifts with the air ride it takes the tension off the WD bars.
He needs to over tension so the truck lowers itself in the rear.
