Trailer tongue weight

[Robantablin]

I recently purchased a 2020 23 LSV with a tri-axle trailer. I am planning to tow it with my Ford Raptor. I would like to purchase a weight distributing hitch to smooth out the ride. Has anyone weighed the trailer tongue for a comparable set-up? Weighing the tongue seems complicated! Thank you for the help!

I tow with one of these:

They also make scales just for this purpose if you don't want to go to a CAT scale and do math.

If you are towing with raptor, have you already fixed the rear suspension?   Look at the timbren stuff.

If you have a swing tongue on your trailer, you can’t use a weight distribution hitch. Plus, they don’t work well with surge brakes.

Thanks for these helpful responses. 

I am planning to replace the leaf springs to help withe the suspension.

Thank you for pointing out the complication with the swing tongue.

Have a great night.
