I know that it makes sense to drop and axle on a class 8 just used for the relatively light loads of a RV. Presumably you save on tire expense. Are there other reasons? Do I stay under some desirable limit that benefits me.

I am looking to drop 1 of two 20 rears and have a 13 front. What about taxes or insurance differences? Stopping at scales? etc.

Thanx
