Our truck, a 2003 F-350 PSD, allows for 2100 lbs. of pin weight. The toy haulers we are considering have a pin weight of 2400 lbs.+/-. How much weight do we need to put in the garage to lighten the toy hauler's pin weight to an acceptable weight? Or is this going to be running too close to our limit?
Thank you for your help.

The weight transfer off the pin from weight placed behind the axle group would be:
Distance from center of gravity of the cargo to the center line of the trailer axle group / distance from the center of the axle group to the pin x the weight of the cargo.
