I developed a tag axle several years ago. I built about 8 of them and all worked good. They were connected to the truck trailer hitch and were controlled with air bags so they could be raised or lowered at any time. I could transfer 2200lbs. to the axle without adding any weight to the front axle which is very important. The first one I made had a steering axle which worked well but was heavy and awkward to hook and unhook. By raising and lowering it tight corners and reversing were not a problem. The problem was when I went to sell them no insurance company would touch them. It seems that when you are altering the suspension on a vehicle it is to risky and some idiot will kill themself. I was told "imagine someone driving on a rainy night with no load and puts the axle down and takes the weight off the rear axle."
