    Looking for a weight system for my truck and trailer. Which is best? Rightweigh? Appweigh? Those are actually the only 2 I know. I run a 48' spread axle flatbed. Would like to know the weight on both axles on my trailer Individually. I'm not sure if I have 1 leveling valve for both axles or 2? Thoughts and experiences?

    Just a regular air gauge is all I’ve ever used. 1 on the truck and one on the trailer. I’ve only had 1 weight ticket in 5 years. It was a trailer someone else loaded. It was not over gross. I was over on the trailer and I knew it based on the gauge. I chose to run it knowing I was over. I got caught. Not the air gauges fault.

    All those systems do is translate air pressure into lbs after you calibrate them. At the end of the day it’s all about air pressure in the bags.

    I perfer the analog gauge from right weight as far as your trailer you will have to see how its plumbing is done and can be easily taken care of if that is what you are after
