    it's a 50 buck project that takes less than an hour. (assuming you have air ride, safe assumption considering there are very very few spring ride tractors left out here). there is no reason not to have a suspension gauge in your truck. even for company drivers.

    Hard to find a truck without the suspension load gauge. If you do find one, good reason to put in an Air-weigh gauge. Converts your pounds of system pressure into actual weight in pounds or kg. Can be within 250 pounds properly calibrated.

    Have found "in excess of 60lbs" does same thing!

    62pounds is my magic number for 34k pounds on drives. normal suspension gauge is a lot cheaper and does the same thing
