On our 2005 Ford shortbed, dropping the pin on the hitch actually lightened the weight on the front axle by 20 pounds. That told me the hitch was mounted so center of the pin was slighly aft of the center of the axle. That is not good but it was such a slight amount it never caused a problem.
I don't know, Steve... My truck also lost 20# exactly (4280 to 4260 w/ the 5ver on). Just double checked my hitch placement and I am exactly dead center over my rr axle (my dealership installed it). This was before I put on my Airlift air bags, though. I would think that keeping a truck level (with and w/o the Montana hitched) would make a difference in frt and rr axle readings.
