What pressure are you running on the two lift axles? How much weight are they carrying? I’d say back the pressure off until all your other axles are maxed out when you’re at gross weight.

on the gauge i have it set at 68 psi on both i believe that would be around 17000 lb
loads range around 82000 lb usually load 48000 from landing gear back 17 feet 34000 to the rear
i was told from owner to load heavy on front and lighter on back, am i loading wrong maybe
i will try doing what you said unless you see im doing something more wrong
thanks for the reply and help -
What you need to do is put it on the scale and see where you can legally carry the load, I have one trailer that has two drop axles we can't get more than 40psi on the gauge before it lifts the trailer up enough where it is very hard to handle on the road.
