well tom if you are loaded and under 12000 but if you are close that means if you hit a bad bump in the rd your axel is now over as how can it take a bad shock if you are at 11900 lbs you are toooooooooooooooooo close then the pin at 2000 and you are max my personal is the axels are too lite ,, also did you weigh the axels seperate even though yoiu have mor-rid they don't carry equal on my unit john
Sailor, I think worring about individual axle load is a waste of time and misleading. The axle design with the center link is designed to carry a load as an assembly with individual axle weights meaning nothing. If you were to start worrying about load on your front versus your rear axle, or even load over a bump, you would really be shocked at the load you put on one side of the rig everytime you exit the hiway at 35mpg on a radius ramp - You'd want 20,000 lb axles then!
