Adding an extra axle

We run a 98 FL80 3126 Cat-210 hp, SA, with sleeper and 24' body. We are finding that our rear axle is close to overweight and would like to know about adding another axle.

Most people suggest a lift-tag or pusher axle but as we run into Alberta, tag axles are not allowed unless they are "welded down and can't be lifted."

A few people have suggested just adding a trailer style axle. Has anyone tried this?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

Jeff
