I’m not an expert but I think the steer and drive axle should be closer with no rear squat (if you have a WDH setup correctly). A squatted rear end will make steering a little more challenging.

while in theory that's how it should be, but you can't get there in any way shape or form. When setting up a WDH, its about the front end mostly. Measure without trailer, measure with trailer, and the WDH when set up properly brings the front back down to 1/2 way or a hair more when properly setup. The weight has to go somewhere, so some goes to the front but majority stays on the rear. There is no way to ad 1000 pounds or more of tongue weight and not have the rear squat, while some it does go to the front axle(which is the point of a WDH), 60% or more is still on the back axle.
Hooked up for a short hundred mile trip. Found the scale weigh in too.
