What position is the 5th wheel at now? Back, center?

Usually it's about 500 pounds per hole.

It sounds pretty much like you're going to be slightly over if you slide them forward 1 hole. Try it and get a $1.00 re-weigh. I would probably take my chances being slightly over at a D.O.T. scale and hope they don't nitpick. Whatever you do don't put on more fuel!

I think fifth wheel is about 250 a hole
