Lloyd, that's one of the thoughts, LOL, actually a possibility might be an aluminum trailer to keep more weight off and three axles, I can always do some upgrades on the rear axle too, nuthing stopping me from upgrading to a beefier rear axle, I've done that many times on other trucks, that'll give me bigger bearings, brakes ect. We already have a list of other upgrades for next spring, like exhaust brake, intake and bigger exhaust and a tuner to tweak things and monitor whats going on with engine exhaust temps ect. Lots of projects coming up!

Terry,
Nice looking setup. What about a pair of wheels on the lounge of the trailer, I don't know what they are called, but the drag race guys used them years ago on their MH when pulling their heavy trailers.

Terry, friend had a ATC all alumn trailer. Was very nice. Well built unit.

So you are exceeding axle weight on the truck, not hitch weight for the setup?

Lloyd, yes I'm over rear axle weight, actually the trailer adds very little, just in combined weight, we're under that,
