Sorry about my confusion on the Champion gen.
I am assuming that you have had your unit weighted. When I had each tire weighted at a rally my gross weigh for my truck was 14,400 lbs. which is 400lbs over the manufacture rating. I had a 2016 Ram dully Cummins with a 100 gal aux tank in the bed. I was using a B&W 25k hitch. My trailer weight was over 20,000 as I recall. Around 4000+ was pin weight in the truck bed. The axles on my unit were rated 8000 lbs each. As I recall one axle was over by 200 lbs. My concern caused me to add 2 bolts to the trailer hitch on DRV which increased the hitch rating. It came with 5 bolts with 2 bolt holes empty. My point in saying this is that the weight adds up quickly so getting each tire weighted is very important. I had a DRV 36RSSB3 which are heavy at the start.
