Ok I have more wts and used the calculator that was linked. I also had a Reese dual cam sway control installed and question the correctness. Prior to install I was getting some wt distribution. Now I have same WDH wiith the dual cams but seem to not get any wt distribution
Here are my wts.

The data suggest that a weight of approximately 240# somehow got moved from the steer-axle scale pad to the drive-axle pad between the "WDH not engaged" weighing and the "WDH engaged" weighing.
Is it possible that you were standing on the steer-axle pad during the "WDH not engaged" measurement, and were on the drive-axle pad during the "WDH engaged" measurement?

Its possible thinking back. But I dont understand what you are seeing. Thers a 20# difference on the front axle and a 60# difference on the rear. Where do you get the 240# ? And that brings up a question. Where should one stand while weighing?
