Bringing this back up as I now have real weights for the boat.
Gross trailer weight 6100lbs
Tongue weight 480 lbs.
Truck with camper, 3/4 tank of fuel, me and 2 boys.
Front Axle 4400
Rear Axle 5580
GAWR
Front 4670
Rear 6084.
I'm right at limits for gawr with the boat hitched.
My understanding is tongue weight would lighten a bit if I extended the tongue which may not be good. The tongue weight right now is just at the lower end of recommended %.
Seems like overload springs, a super hitch and a super hitch truss extension are likely in my future. The 15" extra long ball mount is only rated to 6000 lbs.
