Acdii,
When you hit the scale, if you have a CAT Scale nearby it would be a little easier than where you get your horse feed which I am guessing is a single pad scale (grain elevator?). It is possible with a single pad scale, just need to weigh more times.
For the CAT Scale, follow my signature link how to. You do need to weigh three times at the CAT Scale to be able to figure all the weights.
If a single pad:
W/ the wd bars hooked up:
Tv fa
Tv both axles (subtract fa to get ra)
Tv and tt
W/ the wd bars unhooked:
Tv fa
Tv both axles (again, subtract fa to get ra)
Tv and tt
Tv only:
Fa
Both axles (yep, subtract fa to get ra)
With all these seperate weights we can help you figure out all your spectate weights, including if your transferring enough weight back to the tv fa with the current wdh adjustment, your tw, and total loaded tt weight.
Did you have the tv tires aired up behind the door jamb tire pressure if still the stock p rated tires? I ran my rear at the max cold sidewall pressure, fronts I don't recall exactly. Unknown Ingrid different pressure for the front, from the door jamb suggested pressure up to near max sidewall, just can't recall where I ended up running the front pressure, maybe 5psi over the door jamb pressure???
It is possible you are a little light on the tw. Was there any water in the tanks at all? Don't recall you mentioning that, but may have missed it. Once you get all the needed weights we can go from there. How much stuff do you have stored in the from pass through area?
