Well today took a bit longer than planned, ended up doing two hitch adjustments and then got stuck for 2 hours on the highway in a construction zone during my last test drive.
Here is what I ended up with:
Dropped hitch head 1 slot
6 washers (14k equalizer set up)
Truck tires 51 psi
Trailer tires 65 psi
Front axle 3200 lbs
Rear Axle 3700 lbs
Trailer axles 5920 lbs
Unloaded truck values
Front axle 3180 lbs
Rear axle 2780 lbs
Previous hitch setup
Front axle 3040 lbs
Rear axle 3900 lbs
Trailer axles 5840 lbs
Truck gvwr 7000 lbs
Rear Gawr 4050 lbs
Front gawr 3600 lbs
I didn’t get a lot of highway towing in and there was little wind so I will do some more testing on a windy day, but it did feel better and more stable today.
Can I get some feedback on my weights?
