I cant see how a weight that pushes behind the rear axle , can be distributed to the front axle by such a WD hich.
I thougt only weight distribution was better between left and right.
But then I dont understand how such a hich works.
So to my opinion the front axle dont get more loaded by such a hich.
I am assuming bumper pull now, but mayby its a plate a bit in front of the rear axle wich can give some more weight on the front axle .
Take a long look at the first post in this thread. :)

OK now I understand how such a hich works, but had to google furhter for some pictures and film about it .
Cant make the hich to stiff otherwise the rear wheels could come off the ground when driving troug a large hole.
So for off road driving its not sutable ( but who does).
SoCalledDessertRider already gave the good explanation that best adjusted hich stil lowers about 30% of the original hich weight of the front axle.
So this front axle still does not need to have higher pressure in the tires, sooner can do with a lower pressure wich probably is within the margin so can stay the same.
And still gives about 85% of the unhiched tonge weigt, so rear still needs higher pressure.
the working of a weight distributing hich is about the same as a shovel from wich a picture here. Difference there is that you only have 2 axles wich cant come of the ground .
