Most of the trucks have this problem except Scania-R Zeeuwse and RJL mod truck. When driving with a heavy haulage/trailer even on asphalt roads, truck tires starts to spin. When I push the throttle even on a slight ramp, tires starts to spin.After activating differential lock things get easier but another problem arises: steering. Is there any way to increase truck weight/downforce or coefficient of friction????

Hello,

You can increase the truck's own empty weight by changing the "kerb_weight" values in the def/..../chassis part of the mod .
Kerb_weight [0] corresponds to the first axle (steering) and for example [4] is the 4th axle (8x4) .
Numbering goes from front of the truck to its end.
For the 4 axles, RJL uses the following values : 10200, 1350, 1350, 1350 (in kgs).
Most SCs trucks 4 axles have different set up but the front steering axle doesn't exceed 6400 kg.
Increasing a bit the steering axle value helps to prevent the truck to lift
But you should consider that the heavier cargo from SCS is 61 000 kg and the max heavy trailer deadweight is 10 000 kg ( unrealistic-is closer to 15 000/17 000 kg irl).
Therefore, the trucks performance with heavier modded trailers is not guaranteed (lifting the 2nd steering axle helps sometimes when you're stuck).
