Don't think I have seen anything that indicates that the steerable tags can be raised and if they could, I can't imagine raising a steerable tag. That would SEVERELY overload the rear axle. The 2013 Newells have a rear axle rated at 28,600 pounds and a tag axle rated at 16,000 pounds. Back in 2003 when the axles had a somewhat lower weight rating (25,500 and 12,000 respectfully) and were NOT steerable, FMCA Magazine tested a Newell that had a wet weight on the rear of 36,060 or only 1,440 pounds under the weight rating for the two axles. Transferring over 10,000 pounds off the tag onto the rear axle would not be a pretty picture. (reference:
Newell Coach's Mansion On Wheels).
