What I am struggling with is the impact on Rear Axle wt when you add a 6" aft lever (offsetting the pin 6 inches to the rear) . I am certain there is some physics at play, I just haven't noodled what.
To mentally test if impacted, I imagined a 60ft rear lever....(offset the pin 60ft), there would be a substantial reduction to frnt axle load and a significant increase to the rear axle load....what does 6" do? (what is the math...is it closer to 6lb, 60lb or 600lb impact)

One of the engineer guys will have to respond on this, but I'm pretty sure you dont have a 60 ft fulcrum. It will be at the axles, so closer to 40ish foot. If you move the connection point back, maybe that causes a second fulcrum? The Anderson guys should be able to answer this. I'd call them.
