Looks can be deceiving, 1,440# more on rear axle in pic.
I haven't seen a picture yet that tells me how much an axle ways?
I don't have those super powers that allow me to determine axle weight via a photo.
I'm still using a scale to measure weight, I didn't know I could use a camera. - Cummins12V98Explorer IIILooks can be deceiving, 1,440# more on rear axle in pic.
- cummins2014ExplorerAs said it’s always good to read everything, makes you look a little smarter :B
Sounds like 2.5 would not be too big of issue, that’s about what I am . Barely noticeable and my TPMS doesn’t read any temperature difference between the front and rear tires . - fj12ryderExplorer III

gain 1.75" in height..??? IF the tire and wheel measurements are that, You will only gain half of that ... which is 7/8"
ZACTLY!!!!!!!! OP simply place 3/4" plywood under each RV tire with Truck and RV on LEVEL ground. Now what do you think???
OH and one persons 8 years of good tire experience does NOT make the tires overall performance of all those tires "STELLAR". Lantley NOT referring to you.
OK reading further place a 2X under each tire instead.
"I have and still might do it. I drove my trailer on 2" blocks and it went from 6" difference to 2.5" difference. So I am going to get the tires and rims and then see how it looks/measures out." - since I completely missed the part about the tires being 3" higher.. here is a comparison chart for folks to save
tire size comparison - cummins2014ExplorerIt’s always good to stay up on a thread to know what’s going on . Anyway trying to get level is a problem these days with the trucks getting higher and higher in the back . Every inch counts .
