I checked with Hendrickson after I got busted in OK for not enough weight on the lift.

All the measurements were within their specs but the air pressure gauge was off by at least 50% to their expected chart

I have been chasing this since I got the truck.

 

It's been my experience that each air bag should have 100psi when full.

 

That is not allways the case there. With my tractor drives, at 75 psi I would have 60k on my drives.
The reason I say put shim plates between your airbag and bottom bell is years back AllState Peterbilt in Mn. was having issues with lift axles they installed not balancing out. They put a 1/4" shim plate in and it helped.
The thing they found out is the swing on the tag axle was more than the drive axle swing..
Does that make sense in what I'm trying to say?
So putting the shim plate in shorted the swing down and helped even out the air pressure and give the tag equal weight as the drives..

 

Kinda the same theory as when you shim your spreader bar to get more weight on your back stinger axle

 

yes it makes sense but will require some trial and error toget it within 10% and then will it stay that way across a range of weights or only maxed out. this eentire thing has given me a headache, I just need a west coast 9 and I will leave the #### thing up. You in Oh yet?

 

It would have to be a deal on a 3+1 with deck insert

Frankly I just need to talk Carl into pulling it.......

 

No had tire issues on trl.. So I got hung for St. Louis curfew.. Cuba, Mo. Yea Ha.
Oh the food here tonight was garbage... Do not try the lasanga sp..? here.. or the the Stuffed Peppers.
