Hi tom, Something to consider moving the pin forward, is the F350 has approx 4800lbs on the fornt axle being empty. Maximum spring weight is 5200lbs or 6000lbs if you installed the "X" springs. The front tires capicity is 6080lbs so your pushing about 90% of maximum tire weight empty and as you near maximum weight rating, noticable tire ware accelerates. If you read several mfg. install instructions, you will see coments that from axle center line, pin weight shifts 1% average either 4" ahead or behind axle center line. However real world numbers say nothing behind axle center line as trailer handling is noticeable different. Then consider trailer width as 1/2 the width needs to clear the cab on a 90º turn. If your going to use a 102" wide trailer, this becomes important. T_Bone
