1997 Bluebird 43'
Both axles are dumped. the liftable is just dumped and lifted. Lift
axles are mainly designed to save tread when there is no
payload.There is never lack of load on a lodge. I cant believe that
BB ever intended you to drive down the road with it lifted. . The
raidal sidewalls do not give enough play to keep from skidding in a
tamden axle set with tight parkinglot manuvers .These manuvers at
low speed are easier on the tire tread and asphalt with a dumped bag
skidding tag. It is not a good Idea to drive fast with the Tag dumped
because a high speed bump may cause tire blow out. Dumping the tag
bags still keeps quite a bit of weight on the tag tires. Since RV's
hardly weare out tread it is better to drag 2 treads with dumped load
then stress all 6 sidewalls fully loaded. The Antilock braking will
prevent a dumped or damaged tag from locking up .
