Why do you think the pin is too high?
Pin is generally around 20% of the fivers actual weight. Not the mythical brochure dry weight.
20% of the trailer weight is 1640 and the difference in towing and not on the rear is 2360 or am I missing something? And if I add water it will increase by some amount.
Your front axle weight dropped quite a bit with the 5th wheel hooked up, you may have the hitch a little too far behind the axle resulting in increased rear axle weight and lessened front axle weight.
So your saying that I should move the hitch up, OK any idea how much? Also if the trailer weight is 10560 then the sticker on the trailer is 9931 that thing is over weight without any water on board correct?
