Loaded dually front end alignments

Loaded dually front end alignments
Is there any special procedures that need to be done, or that the alignment shop should know, when trying to do a proper front end alignment for when the truck is fully loaded with trailer and load equalizers?
I suppose one can load the bed down until the suspension drops the same amount as under actual loaded conditions. Just trying to get my front tires to wear evenly and last closer to the rears.

I think that is the best solution, and the closest you will be able to get. Unfortunately, most alignment racks require that the vehicle is at least a couple feet off the ground during the alignment, which kinda prevents the trailer being attached at the time. Have a chat with your alignment technician, see if he has any other recommendations.
