    What are your gauges readings,plz?
    This is what my gauges shows , light load 10,000lbs /dry van; but the steer weight is always close to 12,000 lbs because I have the 5th wheel moved close to cab ; the steer suspension still feels rough, I replaced cab bushings, front springs,air springs,hubs,shocks and checked king pins for play.
