I was planning the APT underbody protection and their rock sliders as well

Yes it was measured by GMV Check – vehicle & trailer weighing – GVM Check can weight your car and trailer attached and un-attached in one smooth easy process using a separate weighing scale under each wheel.

Asside from being more portable using this setup as opposed to weigh bridge gives a bit more information, for example the front right had 779kg on it while the front left was supporting 712kg.

What sort of cost is it to have individuals corners weighed?

I have a set of load cells and indicator and have thought about setting it up up with little ramps.

But with my set up there isn’t much option to shift weight left to right...my driver side will be way heavier than the passenger.

Has anyone tried, or have anything to say about these?
Would they be of use for weighing each "corner"?

Expensive! IIRC the GVM check was $199, however that was with a trailer and you do get a very comprehensive report with a lot of information. If you just do a car it might be less, but you would need to call him to check.

200$ isn’t too bad I guess......

Perhaps I’ll throw mine on our weigh-bridge some time soon...

Not that I’m worried at all about its configuration.

Thought I’d have a look at something... was curious.
We all talk of exceeding weights etc.

How many give that same thought to the common family hatchback? A current shape Corolla - 420kg allowable.

Add fuel, add passengers, go shopping or kids sports and you’re pushing it.
