I think if I were concerned about it, I'd do the bathroom scale trick. It doesn't need to be elaborate. I agree, you have too much WD now. The front wheels should be half way or better to unhitched weight. Not more.

If you do the bathroom scale trich, you have to be ware to have the tonghe on the same hight to the ground as when its connected to the car.
For a twin axle trailer , higher tongue means more weight on it.
And for a single axle trailer its the other way around, higher tonge means lesser weight on tongue.
That is not the reason why a WDH transports weight from rear axle of TV to front axle of TV and Trailer tires, though the tonge comes higher when WDH tightened.
And this 10 to 15 % tonge weight is when trailer weighed apart from TV and measured axle weights ( both axles seperate weighed, and that tonge weight measured like the bathtroom schale trick.
Or as TS did calculated from difference between only TV and axle weights of TV together when trailer atachedf, but then WDH not tightened, so 3 weight-series is the best way, as some already wrote.
That is also what counts for law, wich is , as I am right for middle axle trailers , must be 10 to 15% of total trailer weight.
If you would have a WDH wich can be tightened verry stong , you would lift the rear axle of TV totally off the ground, and the total weight would be only on the front axle of TV and Trailer axles .
To be complete the rear Trailer axle then would have higher weight on it then the front trailer axle.
Luckyly these WDH's dont exist , so this is only to show how the system works.
