Weight distributing hitches do indeed lift at the fulcrum point, causing weight (that would otherwise be resting on the hitch/rear truck axle) to be distributed to the front axle as well as back on to the trailer's axle(s).It would be impossible for the front axle to weigh more after a trailer is hooked up, than before. Think about it. Just the truck sitting there by itself, the only way to get the front to weigh more (besides adding more weight over the front axle) would be to lift up on the rear end. Now, I don’t know of any weight distribution hitch that will get your trailer set up with a negative tongue weight.
