{"replyTo":"","text":"you can have the legal axle weight but your tires also have to be rated at or higher than the weight your running. When I owned a 10 car stinger unit is always be 14k on the steers. Also your tires have to be inflated to the correct amount for the tire weight rating.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Weight rating of the tires themselves. Example: my Bridgestone steers are rated to 7120# each, 14240 is the maximum I can safely maintain. However, many states use a weight rating per inch width of the tires used and an Atlas will generally give you that information. ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"You can have 12000 on steers. People are taking the 20000 pound on a single axle out of context. That is 20000 on a single axle with dual wheels. What it’s referring to is like a spread axle trailer 20000 on each axle for a total of 40000 on your trailer ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"your front axle is rated at 20,000 lbs...where they get you at is the tire rating...look at your steer tires...it will have a tire rating on it....from about 5700 to 7000 lbs...(example) so if your tire says  6750 lbs multiply that by 2 and your front axle rating would b 13,500 lbs..","replyToPid":0}
