Does Sidewinder Pin Box Affect Where Pin Weight is Carried on Truck and Trailer
Question:
Does the weight distribution of the 5th wheel move off the axle and put more weight to the back of the truck at the extended turret on a 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000 lbs or does the the weight of the 5th wheel stay at the hitch over the axle?

The pin weight of the trailer does not change when using a Sidewinder pin box over a standard pin box. While the Sidewinder does allow the pivot point to change it the weight is still supported in the same way.
