I not even 30K on the drives. It's some collars that I have on my drop and the collars
are all the way against the deck, if I put it any further back on the trailer I'll be over
on the trailer well over my 40K

Is that much of a difference between axles supposed to be like that?

I could see 500 to 800 lbs but not 3000. I'm not a trailer mechanic, but that don't seem right.

It does seem like the leveling valve should help out and there shouldn't be much
of a difference like you say, but there is. As for as I know the valve is working right
I adjusted it awhile back.

As of right now I got a ticket for $48 in LA and I'm about to cross in too NM, the guy
I'm running with got a blow out. I'll see what happens. Catch y'all later.

Sounds like your trailer is to low in the nose. You either got to much air in the trailer bags or your tractor sits to low.

I bet you I'm low in the nose cause awhile back I adjusted the valve because my
rear was too high and that put my front real low.
