So things dropped roughly around 3 - 4" before I hit a level rig, which seems like a lot to me!
I then hit the CAT scales and discovered a result that was much more to my liking -- ~2880lbs on the front axle, ~3160lbs on the rear axle (low on fuel, nothing else in the back), and ~3560lbs on the trailer axle (mostly loaded, with only about ~150lbs worth of clothing and food left to load) -- all well within spec -- I'm much more comfortable with this!
So - money well spent in my mind! Thanks again for the input!

How many less pounds are there on the front axle after you're hitched?
