Re: weighting my truck?
you want to get a total weight and a front or rear weight so you will know what your front to rear ratios are.

Re: weighting my truck?
The truck scales are in sections (to measure the weight on the different axles). Just be sure to put your trucks front end on one section and the rear on arother. That way, you'll have the the weight #s to work with!

Re: weighting my truck?
The scales where I work are checked every three months and are good to 20 pounds +/- and they are just like the scales at a truck stop. I think you should be fine with the #'s you get there.
