hitch placement

gordonpoole,
Something is wrong with the eng calcs, or they don't have enough info to run the calcs. Assume you move the hitch 10" rearward (180lbs by the eng calculations)--I believe you will find that a 10" movement would be WAY more than 180 lbs off the front. Leverage of the pin weight is probably what the engs don't have to work with.
