Weighed new rig - super low pin weight %
We've got maybe 700 miles towing now. The first 200-250 miles were with my B&W Companion. The last 500-ish miles were with the Andersen. We haven't deal with big hills/mountains at all and haven't not...

Hard to tell from the photo but is your 5th wheel behind the axle? Truck seem to be squatting a bit but that could be lens distortion in the photo.
This truck always seemed to squat. My last rig was 3,000 lbs. of pin weight and squatted from that. To the point where, every once in a while, I would get someone flick their high-beams at me thinking mine were on.
This pin weight isn't a whole lot higher than the last one.
But, I haven't measured the squat yet. I've actually debated air bags to bring it back up a bit.
As for behind the axle or not- I know the B&W was right at/near it. I saw the same amount of squat with the Andersen after switching to it. I know it's more rearward than the B&W was.
BUT- per weigh tickets, I'm not unloading the front axle. 5,320 lbs. loaded vs. 5,340 lbs. unloaded. (To me, that 20 lbs. is the variance of the scale.)
