I understand perfectly what you are saying.
So when the WDH is connected and fully engaged...Does the frame and suspension of your truck see:

Not sure you do understand. The weight of the trailer hitch is somewhat irrelevant. The 2 frames (vehicle and trailer) see bending stresses placed on them by the spring bars, however much is placed on them. The net effect is the rear suspension on the vehicle sees less weight on it than a conventional setup.
