It seems that there should be around #450 more on the front axle when hitched than when unhitched. The TV front and rear axles have exactly the same weights on them when unhitched so it seems logical they should have the same weights when hitched.
No vehicle manufacturer or WDH manufacturer supports that. When you put 1100-ish pounds of TW 4 feet behind the rear axle, the front axle lost some weight, about 350 pounds is my guess. You just restored 100% of lost front axle weight due with the WDH, which is probably the goal given by your Armada owners manual. The WDH took the extra 1450 pounds on the rear axle, shifted 350 to the front axle and 150 to the trailer axles.
You should verify your receiver limit can support 1100 pounds of TW when using a WDH.
