Typically, pin weight directly over the real axle is ideal. The Companion puck style hitch has a base that transfers weight down to the frame in a fixed position. The head adjusts forward or rearward in a cantilever fashion to the base. Thus the head position doesn't change steer axle weight. Or so says the folks that make them.
