What is truck Rear Axle weights
With 5vr hitched ? 8860
W/O 5vr hitched? 8860-4740= 4120
No haven't seen 15% in any MFGs fine print
TTs....10-15% FW....20-25%
Experience towing 5th wheels........pin weight LIGHTER then 20% resulting in chucking and sway
20% plus is pretty much standard for wet pin weights
YOUR trucks REAR axle weighted 8860 with FW hitched
And the trucks REAR axle weighed 4120???
I am talking TRUCK REAR AXLE weight....with & w/o FW hitched
Or did you not weigh on a 3 platform scale (Truck Front Axle---Truck Rear Axle----Trailer Axles) BUT just on a 2 platform scale (truck on one & trailer on other)??
