I just engage both ends of my overloads at around that weight or a touch more when my truck was new. Seems correct. Now with 32k on my truck it only takes about 1500# to make both ends engage. Thinking back to when I brought our last hauler home from MD when the truck only had 600 miles on it and it only had the fronts engaged. I was amazed!
