    ao I’m getting me a end dump trailer to haul and been talking to a lot of guys and weight distribution is pivotal ... so where should my fifth wheel placement be from the center how many inches toward should it be from the center of my two drive axles ( there 54” apart ) the center would be 27 inches so how much toward should it be to throw a few thousand pounds on my steers ( there already 9k pounds on then with my motor and ect ) I would like to add a few thousand more pounds to distribute the weight out a little better ??? Thanks
