"Jerry, have you had that trailer over the scales? My 19,000# three axle trailer has a pin weight of 4200# or 22% of the GVWR. And we are a bit over 19,000# but it has three Mor/Ryde IS 7000# axles and a 14" high Young's frame (not the 10" or 12" Lippert garbage).
Having 3 axles over 2 axles, does not reduce the pin weight. What will reduce pin weight is to move the axles farther forward or add weight to the rear of the trailer.
On another subject, I have run Hankook G rated tires on the trailer with zero issues. It now has Goodyear G614 G rated tires and zero issues in over 3 years."
