Am I trying to get as close to the 3740# truck front axle weight (unloaded, truck only)?
Is 50% back the number between 3700# and 3220#?
If so, then I need to be at or above 3460#, correct?
Equalizer manual states to ADD washers to increase weight distribution.
Anyone know approximately how much weight can be expected per washer?
Should I add 1 or 2 washers?
I'm inclined to add 2 to get as close to the 3700# as possible? Is too close back to unloaded front axle weight a negative?

Lets see if I can get it right this time. :o
I don't think it is a negative. I try to get mine back as close as possible to the unloaded weight without going over. This makes the headlight aim correct and I have never noticed any adverse handling from doing that. Some truck manufacturers tell you to return all the weight and some say 50% or so. I go for the 100%. :)
