weight from the weight determined in step #3.
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to weights on
the other side, components (tires, wheels, brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side could be
overloaded, even though the total axle load is within the GAWR.
It is important to redistribute the load to avoid component failure, improve the handling
characteristics of the tow vehicle and not void the Towable Limited Warranty.
With these actual weights, it is now possible to compare them against the Trailer Weight
Information label weight ratings to ensure you are below the posted minimum ratings.
