Thank you for the quick reply chuckster57!

The Ram is stock with the exceptions of the OEM towing mirrors and the Voyager proportional brake controller.

My initial thought was since we were running with a light load (< 1/2 tank fresh water and little clothing), that the king pin weight was lighter than it normally would be fully loaded because the weight aft of the axles was relatively normal. We do have a second run planned in a few weeks that we will run with full water load to test the theory out. I keep a journal about the runs initially until things get ironed out or become normal for the rig.
