WDH - I think I understand
OK a WDH distributes the hitch weight across three points (theoretically) - Front axle back axle, TT axle as opposed to simply at the hitch point. So for simple math a hitch weight of 900# would ...

The scales tell the story. Example, on my travel trailer ( funfinder 189FDS ) and truck ( Nissan Frontier ) combo, I have 600 pounds of tongue weight. When the WD bars are tensioned, I am distributing 300 pounds to the front axle of the truck, and 140 to the trailer axles.
I can post a pic of the scale tickets if that would help visualize it.
Stole my lightning. I was going to say there isn't anthing "theoretical" about it. I have the weight slips to prove it, and you can't cheat physics. When one snaps up the brackets, that tension is carried between the points of the trailer axles and the hitch ball. There is no way around some of that weight being transfered to the trailer axles. No different than hanging a weight in the exact same spot
