Suppose .....
The 2 axle and 3 axle are exactly the same layout and weight from the door forward.

Guesstimates here
Center of 2 axle's front axle to pin = 22'
Center of 3 axle's front axle to pin = 24'

If there was 10,000 pounds of weight from the door forward, how would that equal less weight on the pin with a longer distance with the 3 axle versus the 2 axle?
