Yea, that makes sense but if you’re like me and your trailers will smash your cab if the ball is in front of the chunk then you got a problem. The best solution I could think of was to move the ball back 14” (about 8-10” behind the axle center line. I was worried at first but I can’t tell any difference in handling or towing since I have done it. I can now turn and go over uneven roads without smashing my cab or bed sides. My camper is about 8,000#, my tool box is around 13,000#, I have towed a tractor on a 25’ GN that weighed neat 15,000# and ran 75 mph for 8-10 hours. So far no problems at all.
