Morey,

If you find after putting your bus on a diet that the steer axle is still loaded above its capacity; you may be able to take some of the weight off of it by decreasing the pressure on your tag axle. If your tag axle is presently loaded anywhere near its 13,200# capacity; you can lower your front axle load by lowering the tag air bags pressure. By doing so; some of the weight is taken off the front axle and applied to the drive axle. Just be careful not to overload the drive axle. Weighing each of the bus's axles after each pressure adjustment would be prudent. If you only have to lower the tag pressure a few hundred #s; you will not see too much difference in the bus's stability. Safe axle weights should take priority.

You should have a tag air pressure regulator located on the frame just above the center of the tag axle.
