I know that going to weight scales is the “best” thing to do. But I don’t have cat scales readily available. And frankly every time you load it the weight will probably change somewhat, but no by much. I go by the measurements. I measure the front wheel well and back wheel well and I want them to be pretty close to the same measurement. Once you do it you get a pretty good handle on where those bars should be placed. Using this approach I have found my handling to be excellent. There was one time I did lower the jacks by a 1/2 inch to handle better. Don’t know if going to a scale would really tell me much more.
I did get a phone app called Haul Gauge. It’s not as accurate as a scale (which I don’t have access to) but it’s pretty close. And it pretty much told me what I needed to know which was the hitch weight which gives me an idea of my payload and rear axle weight.
As they say, “Good enough.”
