Tags are adjustable and should be slightly off the ground when lifted otherwise you are dragging the tire when it should be lifted.
I ran mine over the scales around 5 times fully loaded to adjust the weight on the front, main and tag axles for fairly even distribution within their limits. Instructions were in the owners manual, I have a valve and gauge in the engine compartment that allows me to set the tag pressure.
