CAT scale weights
Here are my CAT scale numbers as the dealer originally set up my equalizer hitch. Note that I had NO sway issues, NO porpoising issues, NO bouncing issues, no issues at all with this set up in over 2000 miles of towing. However, my over cautious nature impelled me to visit the scales for the true story. I found that I was transferring a minimal amount (80 lbs) back to the front axle even though the fender measurements per the equalizer instructions were correct and the trailer was perfectly level.
Truck only:
Front axle 3460
Rear axle 2660
Truck and trailer with weight distribution off:
Front axle 3100
Rear axle 3820
Trailer axle 3960
Truck and trailer with weight distribution on:
Front axle 3180
Rear axle 3600
Trailer axle 4040
So, after adding 2 washers here are my scale numbers....
Truck only:
Front axle 3420
Rear axle 2660
Truck and trailer with weight distribution off:
Front axle 3080
Rear axle 3780
Trailer axle 3960
Truck and trailer with weight distribution on:
Front axle 3400
Rear axle 3320
Trailer axle 4120
Measurement of front fender through the center-line of the front axle:
Uncoupled: 37 1/8"
Coupled with no WD: 38 5/8"
Coupled with WD: 37 3/8"
After adding the washers the trailer is about 1/2 nose high. Is this/will this be an issue for me? In the limited amount of driving (40 miles of interstate) I was able to do after the adjustments today there were no issues, sway or otherwise.
Your comments/recommendations gracefully accepted...
