About 700 over published tow vehicle GVWR (10000) but...
1320 under tow vehicle axle ratings (FGAWR=5940 + RGAWR=6100 = 12040)and...
5000 under tow vehicle GCWR.
Chucking like hell and still haven't figured it out:( Hitch is tight and moves only 1/8" when locked onto king pin. Maybe pin weight is too heavy at 25.6%? Seams unlikely but I will try to shift some things to the back (or unload the garage) just to see if it helps.
Simple fixes for chucking!
#1. Very good shocks on the TV, we run Bilstein 5100's
#2. Get the 5er as level as possible.
#3. Put shocks on the 5er, if you question this watch it in the mirrors next time you hit a bridge transition.
I doubt if pin is too heavy, a bit on the high side, but I run with my fresh water tank full, as it is just forward of the axles, helps smooth the ride some.
