Truckstop only cost 9 bucks for 1 weigh, or 10 bucks for 2 weighs. Great to weigh with and without a trailer hooked up, and learn the true tongue weight.

Thats a good idea. I would like to know how much weight to add in the bed to get it to 50/50. I may have to start at a certain weight and go from there. I wonder what adds more weight to the rear axle, putting weight directly over the rear axle, or further back in the bed by the tailgate (by using
leverage). My guess is directly over the tires. I think if you add the weight in the very back of the bed, it may take some weight off the front wheels. Probably not much, but some.
