New RAM short Box and B&W RVK3600 in rear most position
Anyone tow with a new ram and have their RVK3600 set to the 4" behind the axle position. If so, how is it working out? Chris

At only 4" the weight transfer is not that much. It's pretty simple math.
We can all agree that a 500lb tongue weight bumper pull trailer does not need a weight distribution hitch on ANY full size pickup, let alone a 2500 or 3500, right? Let's say that hitch ball is 48" behind the axle of the truck.
In order for the pin weight of the 5ver at 4" behind the axle to have the same effect on the front end of the truck as a 500lb tongue weight at 48" behind the axle, your trailer would need to have a pin weight of 6000lbs.
If your 5th wheel has a tongue weight less than 6000lbs, you're golden.
