    34,000 on the trailer? Take a measurement with it loaded then empty with everything set the same. When you load that to the max it won’t come up as much.

    Had a right weigh weight gauge installed ( one for the tridem that tells lbs not psi) and a lever that allows me to adjust my ride height without getting under my trailer messing with the leveling valve!!! I love that thing!!

    I had roughly 41 on the trailer. But before the new valve.... I couldn’t get it to raise at all!! So if I high centered it... there was nothing I would be able to do

    I have the rightweigh on mine, digital on the trailer and analog on the tractor. I like them, and compared to Airweigh they were a deal and they’ll do a tri and quad with the same unit. Yours could be set up for tandem and tri. I honestly find an air gauge to be more accurate though. When you check your gauge you need to have the bogie level and the suspension needs to be in whatever position it was in when you calibrated it.
