Yep, I know how weight transfer works and I understand it well. The entire discussion is about the capability of my current hitch to return weight back to the steer axle. It’s not. I believe it may be beyond the ability of the hitch. I also understand how to load my trailer to alter tongue weight, and the 1180 was with a full tank of water...and at then it was only @ 13%. I’ve done everything I know how to do and I am still not getting return. The last experiment will happen next weekend when I run without full water tanks.
I’ll report back when I run that test.
