> So does anyone know why the rear is designed to sit higher than the
front? I've always wished mine looked level.

Good question Scott. I'm not an engineer, but I figure with the tail
up, it places more weight on the front axle.

FYI, when I was driving my PT38 back from Blair's house, in OR, I ran
thru a weigh station. The front axle weight came in at 12,480lbs. That
was with the rig basically empty, full of fuel, 1/2 full of water, and
my 200lb butt in the drivers seat.

I have Michelen 12R 22.5's on the front. According to the tire guide,
at 100psi the max weight is per tire is 6,405lbs or 12,810lbs for the
front axle. The max weight for 105psi is 6,740lbs/tire or 13,480 for
the axle.
This is where I keep mine inflated to.

Anyone know the front axle max load?
