I would believe substantial as the balance point would change lifting the weights off the pin. That was exactly why I asked the fellow that the Mobile Suites trailers had such heavy pin weights and much more than any other trailers we were weighing at the time. People were buying bigger and bigger trucks to be able to carry that high pin weights. For short time they added the third axle, only just placed it behind the second axle, causing higher pin weights!
