OK, Here's my calculations:
Tare Front Axle 3740 + 232 = 3972 :Adjusted Front Axle
Tare Rear Axle 2860 + 348 = 3208 :Adjusted Rear Axle
Adjusted Tare Front Axle 3972
Adjusted Tare Rear Axle 3208
Front Axle without WDH 3540
Rear Axle Without WDH 4960
Approximate TW 4960 - 3208 = 1752 : Approximate TW
Gross Combined Weight 16220
Truck weight 3972 + 3208 = 7180
Trailer weight 16220 - 7180 = 9040
TW Percentage 1752 / 9040 = 19%
1700 pound TW unfortunately I think is over loading my Hitch Head, of 1400 max. I need to check the reese hitch that i've got.
