5th wheel movement

First load on a new truck - Red Winter Wheat - with 40' Hopper, 5th wheel is fixed, Gross 77,360 - Steer 10,260 - Drive Axle 33,360 - Trailer Axle 33,720.

I've got 3 holes available to move the 5th wheel forward; distance from center of bolt to center of forward hole is 6".

Wheel Base 198", Distance Front Axle to Kingpin 15' 2, Kingpin Rear Axle of Trailer 36' 4" current measurements.

I'm thinking move it the full three holes. Opinions, suggestions welcome.
