Expert Reply:
The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # GY46FR does have a pin weight capacity of 3,500-5,500lbs. The pin weight you found on Gen-Y's website is on their worksheet for those who do not know their actual pin weight. They use a generic number 22% which I can tell you is an average number and as you have some 5th wheels which are going to have a higher or lower amount of tongue weight they go with a safe weight range on that form.
