    You're always going to be over on the steers because they put the fifth wheel too far forward. It shouldn't be an issue. Depending in type of axle and steer tires you can be over 12 on the front axle. I've never had a scale house even look twice at it.

    When I was regional out of C'ville I was told you can go 14000 on steers as long as you are under the 80000 max gross
