1) As I said, it’s probably still within GAWR. OP is going to hit the scales to find out for sure.

1. I don't know. I'm not an automotive engineer and I don't write the specs and instructions, I just read them and try to be as compliant as possible. No one ever got in trouble, or at least very much trouble, following instructions.

2. Yes it will, winch, bike rack, water carrier, anything added to the front end will drop it some, and every set of hitch instructions I have ever read state that when anything is done to change the weight of the front end, the WD needs to be readjusted because it's being added to or subtracted from the weight being transfered by the hitch.
