Change weight by adding washer to WD hitch?
If I add a washer to my WD hitch and use the same link on chain, will it improve my weight numbers? ie. help load steer axle. Is 60# off the steer axle worth worrying about? Just trying to dial it in...

Jeremiah, the 2K version will be more accurate unless your TW is approaching 2K.
OP, 60 lbs is not worth worrying about. Your TW is probably around 1000 lbs with a couple hundred lbs transferred to the trailer axles.
Thanks for the insight on the Sheline scale! I didn't know that..
Thanks!

Sherline says to size your gauge so it reads approximately in the middle. For most people that is the 2K gauge. By the way, there is only one scale with three different gauges. You can unscrew one and screw in another. I know because I have two gauges. I started with the 1K gauge with my first 21 foot trailer. When I got my 34 footer I called them and they mailed me the 2K gauge for 25 bucks.
