Just the geometry says some of the weight will always transfer forward, unlike a bumper pull. If the hitch is correctly installed in the bed, never ever would hitching up a 5th wheel unload the front ...

IIRC, B&W told me that the GN sits about 3.75" in front of the axle centerline; the companion, in its most forward position, puts the king pin about 1.75" forward of the axle centerline. Most rearward position is about 4" behind the axle.

Are you sure that you didn't get these measurements reversed?
Not for my '02 short bed Duramax, which is what I specifically asked B&W about. I can also =see= the offset, using a plumb weight.

Thanks, as the best that I can see on my long bed Dodge it is just the reversed of your short bed.
