With my truck and camper, it would be nearly impossible to overload the front axle.
My max front axle weight is 5940lbs. With the camper loaded and the with the front hitch and carrier loaded with a 2000 watt generator, 5 gallons of gas and 6 gallons of water, the total front axle weight is 4550lbs, leaving me with another 1390lbs of additional front axle capacity.
With my long, heavy camper, the front axle is unloaded a little. I find the added weight from the front hitch aids the steering.
