...snip.... We're talking about nearly half a ton and what the trucks manufacturer says it needs.
Think about it, a truck is not designed to carry all its load on the back bumper. It's built to carry most of the load in the bed where both axles play a part.
GM says that their 2500 and 3500 series pickups are good with a thousand pounds on the rear hitch and my experience confirms this. How much does that remove from the front axle? Not enough to notice. It "might" be a factor on half ton or smaller pickups, but that is not what the OP purchased.
