    I always set my GN and 5th wheel trailer hitch(s) to where it doesn't affect the trucks front axle much if any.

    Your 4060 lb drive axle empty weight is one of the highest I've seen even on haulers websites. Is the 4060 lbs number as is from the factory or after you added your stuff in the truck.
