Why don't more of us run lift axle trailers?

HEB grocery warehouse in Texas I’ve seen have lifted axles and super singles on both trucks and trailers.

I thought about doing it on my trailer but I never run empty and my truck is heavy.

 

I am in the process of getting a quote to see how much it will cost to add It on my dry van. When I bought it new I did mostly heavy loads and since have been doing more lighter loads. Might be worth the money now.

 

I would opt for manual raise.

If you need to go over the gwb north, you can raise it lol

 

Yep that is how it is getting quoted.

 

If I do it, it's going on the back axel, so if I need to make a city turn, I can get sharper.

 

lift on your license plate would have a better ROI

 

On a closed tandem or a spread?

 

Did that when I owned the Mc. 3 years, 0 tolls LOL. Now the Mc isn't mine, and I am a good boy.

 

Tandem. In the north east I do many 270 degree turns into docks made for antique trucks. I've been touching cab to trailer more times than I can count.

 

I bought a 53 spread earlier this year with a rear lift. I wonder how I got by without it. It has a manual valve as well as electric wired to an aux plug on front which I have on a switch in the cab.
