When i loaded that dually onto the trailer i had it at the very rear with 14 ft left in front so i can put something lighter there or coulda moved it foward if need be to get my pin some weight back on it.wedge542 wrote:

Your numbers are screwed up. It is impossible to put more weight on the FA than the RA, unless the pin is closer to the FA than the RA, which obviously it isn't.
So little pin weight isn't safe either, but you probably don't care.
