With my B&W hitch full forward I add less than 200# to my front axle even tho my pin weight is around 5,700#.

I'd agree with something doesn't seem just right. King-pin should always increase steering axle weight even if only a couple hundred pounds.
Center of pin should be 1>" forward of drive axle center line.



Not that it would effect the steering axle. Seems you should be able to position the axles on the scale pads to indicate the tandem loads & the swivel for that matter. Just out of curiosity.
