front axle

I have a buddy with a 3500 Ram that I have an isses with. He told me that with the front bumper, off road type, winch, and what not, his front springs are maxed out. Then he puts on a 25,000 lb gooseneck trailer. Now I'm no virgin in this area and I say his front axle is very much overloaded. He said naw, the load is over the rear axle. I say bad juju. When I weighed my truck with and without my fiver, I had more load on the front with the fiver.

Any thoughts?
