Wow, that's great you've got a 17,880 front axle. I've got the same rear axle as you. I'm kind of confused though. Wouldn't your gvwr be 40k with those two axles added together? And isn't the gcwr closer to 80k? Does gcwr = gross combined weight rating, meaning combination of veh. and any trailer? I thought gvwr is gross veh. weight rating, which is the maximum amount the manufacturer says can be on the single veh. itself?
Is your 17,880 front axle an air ride or steel springs?
