Too dangerous having light steers on wet roads.
The truck i have now weighs 13.5 when loaded. No drop axle.. Feels much better then the last truck having the drop axle down and steers weighing 9.5.
Adjustments to 5th wheel

Another question comes to mind.... when you have additional "drop down" axles, say a 4th axle on the truck, and/or a 3rd(or even 4th) axle on the trailer...... what does that do to the allowable weight balance? On mine; my truck has a steer axle and 2 drive axles, my trailer is 53' and has 2 axles (not spreadable, but adjustable together); so my allowable balance is 12k/34k/34k..... I shoot to get as close to 32/32 as possible.
