Okay, I've done my search to make sure I'm not asking a question already asked. Learned a lot in the process, but still need a little help with one.

I'm trying to balance my trailer load correctly.

The tongue weight is 1200#, which is 13% of the total trailer weight of 9200#. So I think I'm okay there. However, I ended up with 1700# on the rear axle and a negative 500# on the front. I have a weight distribution hitch, and don't revoke my "man card" but I read the directions first and followed them closely. Everything checks out per the directions, but on the way to the cat scales at the truck stop, it was swaying all over. Could have been the windy day, but taking 500# off the front axle can't be right. What's the next thing to try?
