seems strange that the front axle lost 80lbs. when loaded.
You may want to take a look at where the center line of 5th wheel is over the axle. It should at least be over the axle. And if it is, you may want to move it forward a notch toward the front axle so that weight is transferred. You don't want less on the front axle. When you load it, that will most likely be a bigger problem for the front axle.
^^^^^ I agree ^^^^^^
It would seem that your pin is sitting slightly behind the rear axle, I gain 50 to 60 lbs. to the front axle when hitched, I would be a bit concerned as to the placement of the hitch.
I know for the same hitch, the distance forward of the axle varies from 0" to about 4" depending on the make of the truck.
