WDH too much tension and how would you know?

I am setting up my new Toy Hauler with a Standard WDH rated at 10k. After weighing I am a little light in the front end and would like to try and transfer come more weight forward by dropping the head angle by adding one more washer. It works, I was able to add more weight to the front but it is a bugger to get the bars hooked up even using a electric tongue jack to help lift..

My question can you apply too much tension to the tension bars and how do you know what is too much?

Poor mans check is verifying the rear is not over the original ride height and the front is as close to the original ride height at possible.

Best option is hitting the scale and watch the weights change with and without the trailer with WDH attached. Use the WDH bar tension to get the front axle weight as close to the original weight as possible.

You'll know if you're over tension if you have more than the unloaded weight applied at the front.

And if the front is still light, then you need heavier WDH bars, which I think is the situation you are in right now from the sound of things.
