the burbs dry axles are:

drive 2724
after loading for travel:
steer 3640 +568
drive 5000 +2276
i have to assume the extra 2276 on the drive axle includes the full tongue weight (1050 dry for my coach)
the hitch is setup per equalizers exact specs... (using their formula for setting the ball height) when I hooked up the coach, without the spring bars, it (the suburban) was nearly the same (levelness) as when I did load the spring bars (you can see that from the original weight... only an extra 80lbs to the steer axle)
so, in that case... I figure, since I can't load the spring bars anymore than they are.. it must be the ball height or angle that will allow more torque transfer.. right?
