Greg,

Thanks,, and I do need to move it a little forward, but not that much. Yes too little weight is dangerous, jus as too much.

I had made the assumption of 500# on the Truck Hitch. Checking my 3/4 Trucks Hitch Spec's (Class IV) it states a maximum of 10% of the load, so assuming a 10,000# load then I need to go to 1,000#'s.

Doing that, then I need to move the truck forward 10.5" in my sketch, putting the Trailer/Truck weight 1" forward of the front trailer axel.

Again that was assuming the trailer dimensions I had in the sketch. I'm waiting on the trailer manufacture to provide the final dimensions.

Thanks,
Will
