I would think the neck setting would have a lot more to do with the boggie setting level then the suspension setting.

Xl trailers have the back deck higher at the front than the back so you need a heavy load to level it out, run the suspension low with a light load and back axle won’t air up.
My next trailer will have a shimable back deck.old iron, IH Truck Guy, cke and 1 other person Thank this. -
These fenders are dead level with the rear frame. The air is dumped in the trailer, and they are just about setting on top the last axle. To run 4 in a row empty I have to jack the ride height up. The air bags on axle #1 will be just about over extended and #4 will be almost bottomed out.
The joys of a non modular trailer... Loaded light you easily gain 3-5" of deck height in the back half of the well. And empty they want to twist on that back axle taking 40 acres to turn a corner. -
Lots of great ideas gentlemen, thank you!

This is how you get the back level for light loads. This is how my new trailer will be setup.
