How far forward is your 5th wheel? Should be pretty much centered between the drives. I leave mine about 4in or so back of center. Like 2 notches back

Just hope the OP can adjust the 5th wheel. Some carriers have that setting disabled!
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Yea I try not to pop my brakes either. When I do, I only do one. Slide your fifth wheel back and that should work. I usually keep mine all the way back or one notch before. The nose of the trailer isn’t usually where the weights at, but when you’re hauling beer or other heavy loads...it happens. If you’re all the way back already (which I doubt) slide your tandems forward. As long as u get to 12,400 or less you’ll be good. Hope that helped someone!
