Ok I will try to make it more clear here.

Nothing on the Expedition
Front Axle 3340lbs with 36" Wheel Well Spacing
Rear Axle 3480 with 36" Wheel Well Spacing

With WDH on Link #3
Front Axle 3220lbs with 36" Wheel Well Spacing
Rear Axle 4540lbs with 33" Wheel Well Spacing
Trailer Weight on Both Axles 7520lbs

With WDH on Link #4
Front Axle 3340lbs with 36" Wheel Well Spacing
Rear Axle 4380lbs with 34 3/4" Wheel Well Spacing
Trailer Weight on Both Axles 7740lbs

So thinking I have my front axle back to normal and not light which I thought I could feel when hit a bump with steering getting light. Also again putting on Load Range E tires to help with SUV sway and adding a extra sway bar with having such a long and heavy trailer.

Hope that clears items up and these were with everything loaded as going camping and people. GCVW for mine is 15,460 and figure my hitch weight is around 1000lbs. so that puts it right at 15%.

Again most camping is going to be 50 miles at most with one trip a year being about 1000 miles round trip. Handles good now until I get up around 65-70mph this was on WDH Link #3 and again its been 20mph winds each time so figure just keep her in the 60-65mph range when driving and sway should be gone with all other changes should see how things go for this weekend's short camping drive of 25 miles. First time driving on Link #4 with Tires and Extra Sway Bar.

I look at a a WDH to be like a handle that pushes down on the whole TV on all four wheels. I think returning the front weight is great but not enough. Because the extra rear weight pushing the TV down in the rear unloads the front relative to the rear. So pushing a couple hundred pounds to the front wheels works better for me in the steering balance equation.
Shorter answer: I’d try five links before settling down.
