Re: Balance your trailer tires?

I have the tires on my travel trailer balanced. I can't feel the difference, but there is no way to "unload" the TT. I frequently tow a 13K# flatbed trailer, and it sucks to tow empty. When I got my 99F350, I towed that trailer behind my 96 F350 from Iowa to Michigan. I was dreading the trip, but, I thought about it, and moved my weight distributing hitch stuff (spring bars) to the flat bed, put just a tiny but of lift on it (enough to just lift the draw bar from the bottom of the reciever to the top) and it towed beautifully. No beating on the passengers.
