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.
With WDH engaged.
Front. 2880
Rear. 3920
Trailer. 4660
Total. 11460

With WDH not engaged
Front. 2900
Rear. 3980
Trailer. 4560
Total. 11440

Truck only
Front. 3300
Rear. 2820
Total. 6120

Your tongue weight is 760 lbs.. A bit heavvy. Your only moving 100 lbs off the truck to the trailer with the WD hitch..

What link are you on with the chains?

Are the bars parellel wuth the frame of the camper?

Your need at least 5 chain links remaining. If you are at the 5 chain link limit and not getting the proper weight distribution the shank/ball will need to be tilted more back towards the trailer.

This will allow you to move more weight...

You need to restore your 3300 lb front truck only axle weight back as close to original as you can.. Your far off.

Your at 2880 with wd.. You can get better then that IMO and get closer to the 3300 truck only weight.

You may or may not need to lift the ball up or down too..

If you take a pic we can see right away .. Take a pic of truck and trailer. we look for level. And take pic of bars WD engaged...

Watch this video. about the 9 min mark it shows the chain and tilt procedure..

And shows how to measure with a ruler the wheel wells..
