100 slugs is still only a little over 3200 lbs. That's a far cry from the 6500-8000 lbs that most of these trucks weigh. What you really need is a roller that is closer to the weight of the vehicle you're testing to give you a more accurate ramp rate and thus a more accurate reading.
You'll have to ask Keith about this one, but I think each roller is 100 slugs, so you really have 2 x 100 slugs = 6200 lbs.
