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.
