Are you sure about that???
For the Reese system that I have, it is the exact opposite. The fewer links that I have under tension, the shorter the distance between the trailer frame and spring bars. Therefore, more tension would be applied to the spring bars and ultimately, more weight distributed to the front axles.
Maybe I'm talking about a different type of system geometry than the OP. If so, my info doesn't apply.
I should maybe re-word it to "the more links used up, the more weight transferred". The way you explain it is also correct. I count the links from the other end, the ones hanging. The more that are hanging loose (or used up), leaving fewer between the bar and frame, creates more tension. For example, if I have 8 links to use and start on the first (farthest from the bar) I have very little tension. For more tension I "use" up more links and go to the 4th....
