Answering "How Much" Questions
Sorry for this long and wordy post... I am looking for some feedback on a little project I have been working on today. Kind of a sick day for me... so I have taken the down time to try and be product...

Ron has a formula that works fairly well, probably 50-75% of the time for how much wt is pulled off the FA depending upon overhang etc. The issue I see with it, is it does not take into account the different spring rates of vehicles. OR if it has a self leveling system. These items in my experience do effect how much wt is taken off the FA. Some times a bit more, some a bit less. IT is a reasonably good start.
If you have scales data and vehicle dimensions which show that load removed from the front axle is dependent on spring rates, please post the information.
I have many scales data reports which show the formula is equally valid for SUVs and HD trucks.
Please refer to this post for details.

Thank you both for contributing these details!
Thanks!
