5vr pin weights are 'carried' by trucks rear axle.....
Depending on location of hitch truck front axle weight can be affected.
2" forward of rear axle center line on my truck ADDS 150# to front axle which was intended due to heavy pin weight.
Your 5vr DRY pin is 24% of DRY weight-----
Your WET pin is 25% of total 5vr weight
Heavy pin ratio.....5vr should track very well w/o any chucking going on
Does it sit level when hooked up/nose high/nose low?
And how is your bed rail clearance----at least 6" (more is better provided 5vr is level)
Thanks for taking the time to get your actual weights and KNOW your are within ratings. Axle Ratings are the real world numbers one needs to pay attention to!
