Where does the weight go to when using wd hitch?
If tongue weight scale says 930 pds and then you hook up to to hitch ball and then load up wd spring bars...what happens? Where does that 930 pds go?

Practically speaking, some goes onto the tow vehicle front axle and some goes onto the trailer axle(s).
Technically speaking though, all of it stays there but the WD hitch creates an upward force at the ball which is countered by added downforce at the tow vehicle front and trailer axles. This lightens the effect of the trailer’s tongue weight on the rear of the vehicle.
