I weigh the same on the front axle loaded or empty per the cat scales.
Hi

What make and model truck do you have. Our 2009 Quad cab Silverado 3500 DRW Duramax adds weight to the front axle as we load our 5th wheel when I reach the TV GW rating by loading the fifth wheel my front axle is very near the max axel weigh rating. My 5th wheel is mounted in the location specified by GM which is forward of the center line of the rear axle if my memory serves me correctly is about 1 inch.

In accordance with GM’s recommendation the tires are rotated every oil change and I get even wear all around the only disadvantage to this is having to purchase all new tires at the same time and this next tire change will cost extra because my spare is now 7 years old and will have to change it as well. I am averaging 60,000 miles on a set of tires.
