WD dilemma. Cat scale weights.
I wanted to get better actual weights again with the silverado 1500. I have been running on the 9th chain but I recently installed the sumo springs. Sing I have really no sag anymore I was concerne...

The thing with 8th link is it feels too tight. From 9th link to 8th link it only transfered to the front axle more.
The 9th and 8th link has same transfer to trailer, basically 120 lbs.
on the 8th link it actually makes the trailer 20 lbs lighter.
I get no sway. I was just trying to get the back of the truck up with less sag.
I ran 2500 miles from NJ to florida and back fully loaded on the 9th link.
Leaf pack did its job but I was thinking I needed something more. I probably should leave well enough alone.
Im going to take the head apart and fit as many washers as I can in there. I am using 4 thinner washers now, on top of the factory thicker washers. ( I could not find a source for the factory ones. Ill take a ride to the homestore.)
I may take the sumo springs out as they may be detrimental and not allowing the leaf pack to do its job.
So if I can get a bit of tilt out with added washers I should gain some lbs on the front on the 9th link.
So truck is 3300 front.
9th link now brings it to 3160.
