The only way to get a true answer is to weight your truck and trailer hooked then truck unhooked.
I feel all the weight should be over the rear axles.
My weight numbers for the 02 Big Sky added 60 pounds to the front axle when hooked up.
My weight numbers for the 07 Montana subtracted 140 from the front axle when hooked up.
I feel the front axle should not have more than an additional 100 pounds on it. My Dodge already has 4840 pounds on it empty. I did not change the hitch but think the 02 weights was before I added tool boxes to the rear bed of the truck.
You need to check the specifications on your maximum weight for your front axles and assess from there.
Good question and welcome to the forum.
