It's very easy math to figure your weight transfer to the front axle. Measure centerline rear axle to centerline front axle. Now how much forward is centerline of kingpin or gooseneck ball from centerline rear axle.

My axle to axle centerline is 170" and forward dimension of kingpin is 4" that is .0235% of 170". My pin weight is 6,000#. .0235% of 6,000# is 141#.

Whoops, your math is off a bit. :) 4" is actually 2.35%. That seems low to me too, mine is about the same amount in front of the rear axle and it puts over 200 lbs. on the front axle, and that's with a hitch weight of about 3400 lbs. Don't know about the math, but that's according to the Cat Scale. :)

4 Divided by 170 is .0235 so it depends on how you are doing the math. Take 6000. X 2.35 the number is wrong. Take 6000. X .0235 and it is 141#.

I have to ask, did you go thru the scales then unhook and go right thru again?
