   Hi, You forgot about the weight factor. In addition to riding 
level, the drawbar weight is to be distributed out on the axles. If 
you have 900lbs of drawbar weight, the tailer axles should carry 
1/3rd of it and the truck axles each 1/3rd. A steering axle that is 
too lite or too heavey can be very dangerous. The last thing we would 
do is take the loaded rig to a scale and weigh each of the three 
axles to see if we have a correctly hitched rig. Take care.Arnie
