A few years ago I would have said that is a very bad idea! But the fact is with WAY over 5K pin and my B&W 3600 Full forward I only add around 100#+ to the front axle. So I would say the MAX it would lighten his front axle would be 150#. With a front axle that will weigh about 5,000# right out of the box it would not hurt to loose 150#.
Something else to consider B&W is a stand up company, I don't think they would make the hitch to be placed behind the axle if it was not ok.
