Under 19.5's look at the xds2 in your size. Should give you a nice idea of where you should be for best wear and fuel mileage.

[mr.mindless]

She looks good.
HdR's are rubbing on the rear?

no evidence of touching each other at 105psi with the load of Subis.

they tuck inside the railing of the bed, they've got miles of clearance for travel.

[mr.mindless]

All the way down to 75psi? wow. Things to try!

i run 90 on my truck, its good.


i have had a vibe since they were new at 47mph

new bottom driver seat cushion is out for delivery today. Need to pull the seat and patch the seat cover. that steel frame is COLD on the side of my leg for a couple minutes on a cold night.

px mirror glass is on backorder, but my second favorite supplier had one in stock so that's ordered.

you have a shorter wheelbase. also, the bad section of 90 near BUF is after 190, and between x40 and I481 this side of cuse. those are both better with this truck than dumpbus (I'm 6" longer now. and yes she likes it)

the approaching-Victor piece of 490 is much worse in this truck than the last.

If I'm empty, that new concrete section between Weedsport and Syracuse is BRUTAL with my truck (and our empty box truck at work). You can barely carry on a conversation it shakes you so bad. Add a load and it's fine. Stupid cement.

[mr.mindless]

stupid pavement crew, cement can be well done.

when Troy and I went to Air Cooled in NJ I tried every speed from 40 to 80 and it was unbearable at any of them.

loaded coming back was OK

Thinking about this to solve my gooseneck issue.

It's "only" rated for 25k/5k, but looking at scale tickets I think ~5k is the most tongue weight I've ever had. Need to see how 12x14.5" will work with the existing deck hole, I think pretty well. I'm assuming the size is close to the Reese version. http://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Reese/8339.html


A turnover is the other option, this Reese without rails is a very nice price and rated for 30k/7.5k. No dimensions given and I'm not sure how I'd modify it to actuate from above the bed.

For a little more money yet, this one wouldn't need any modification to use from above the bed. I can't help but think that a sliding pin mechanism would get shitted up a lot faster than a tilt ball mechanism.

i was displeased with my B&W latch.  both mine and Matts suck and you need two people to opperate, or some bungi cord paint scratching bushmechanicry

[cracker]

if you are looking for something stationary under the bed I have one very similar to this:

sitting in my barn I would sell to you for $50(plate ball and stationary loops)  It was originally in my 98 F150 I can get you the measurements tonight.

[mr.mindless]

if I'm going to do that I'll just steal parts from my existing setup on dumpbus...

[rejeep]

or look at curt

[mr.mindless]

Curt C-52?

didn't see them until I looked by brand. they have a few others too. that's a 30k/6k folding ball.

[rejeep]

C52 = new number 61052
$120.. in dayton..
