I've towed a couple different 5ers with my Andersen now with the hitch both ways and didn't notice any difference in ride really. The smoothest and best towing was triple axle presidential suites that I had with the ball in front of kingpin which puts the trailer fairly far back on the truck and it towed great through 40 plus mph winds and lots of snow and ice. My own fiver is much lighter, max weight 15.5k and I tow it with the adapter such that the kingpin ends up in front of the ball when hooked up. If I don't do it this way the back of the kingpin box hits the rails for my backflip bed cover in tight turns. I would much prefer it turned around the other way if I had the clearance. I did raise the ball once and tow it the other way and even though the trailer was nose high it felt stable back there.
