Matt, check your GAWR on your front axle on the VIN plate next to the drivers left foot. If you have the 11R24.5 tires the coach is probably rated at 14,000 on the front. I am running 305/75R24.5 on the front which have a higher weight rating. The tires were the limiting factor on the front axle weight ratings for the 1990-1996 Newells. Some of the late 1996 coaches had the 315/80R22.5 Load Range J tires. Those were later replaced with 315.80R22.5 Load Range L Michelins. If you have those, your front axle weight ratings should be higher.
