I'm doing pretty well with my tongue weight setup using a bathroom scale. When I think I've got it where I want it I go to a CAT scale about 20 miles away and confirm everything that way.</div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69158"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69162" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69161"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69160"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69159"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69164"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, July 31, 2018 7:59 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Trailer Issue<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69166"><br><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69168">Careful you don't get negative tongue weight... can be a dangerous situation if it disconnects at the ball and you're not ready for it ! <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69170"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69172">Brian<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69174"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69176"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69178"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69181">--- <a ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533061618142_69180">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a> wrote:<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">From: Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <<a ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br></div><div dir="ltr">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br></div><div dir="ltr">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Trailer Issue<br></div><div dir="ltr">Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 23:24:26 +0000 (UTC)<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">No. The front axle is always closer to the frame whether hooked to the truck or just propped on the jack, level or not level.
