Default Setup evaluation request

Greetings. I'm requesting some knowledgable feedback on my new truck and TT setup, mainly the WD hitch setup. I did a lot of homework on this and I'll supply as much information as I can. Weight distribution hitch was set up by my TT dealer. My setup is as follows:
(TRUCK)
2021 F150 XLT 301A, 4X4 5.5' screw, 3.5 eco., Max tow package
GVWR 7050
Payload 1932
Front axle GAWR 3450
Rear axle GAWR 4150

(TRAVEL TRAILER)
GVWR 6794

(CAT SCALE WEIGHTS)
Truck w/driver & full tank of fuel
steer axle 3140
drive axle 2320
total 5460

truck fully loaded w/loaded trailer connected
steer axle 3160
drive axle 3320
trailer 5100
total 11580

truck alone fully loaded 5780
Trailer alone fully loaded 5800

(TRUCK MEASUREMENTS @ WHEELWELLS)
truck without trailer attached: front 37" rear 41"
truck with trailer attached via weight distribution hitch: front 37.5" rear 38.75"

Hope this is enough information and looking forward to some knowledgable feedback.

Just a touch to much weight being returned to the front axle. I'm presuming the only change is hitching up the trailer. Ford recommends 25% for a 150 various WDH manufactures can be as high as 100%.

20lb added and a half inch high on the front. Seems good, but a test drive will tell all.
