    Has anyone weighed their truck to get the weights on the front and rear axles? I've searched every where I can think of and struck out.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Most of the larger truck stops have them. About 10 bucks. Gary

    My truck isn't moving under its own power yet. I just thought I would try the brain trust before I go searching for a trailer.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I need to weigh mine too. I was thinking of using a series of bathroom scales. Maybe 3 per wheel with a 2x8 across them.

    Borrowed some aircraft scales and did the deed today. For the record, my truck weighed 2640 lbs. It has a 302 and C-4 with an 8" rear. Weight bias is 51% on the front and 49% on the rear. That surprised me. I figured it would be more on the front end.
