Looked at owners manual and didn't see anything on specs for restoring front axle weight. Have to look more though.
I do use a breaker bar, but still have a significant amount of tension when truck is fully raised via tongue jack.
Less concerned about full weight back on front. Would like to have less tension when snapping up and unloading brackets... primarily if wife has to do it for whatever reason.
I hear/read all the time folks saying they can snap up brackets by hand when fully raised with tongue jack. Makes me think I may have some tweaks to do (ie lower hitch maybe)?
