the 4500 wont care at all with another 5K on the pin


ideas are make the trailer a step deck

flip 572 around, and pull 3' more forward so the rear axle is sitting on the goose arms- lower the load and move it forward. 

we are close.  i think either way its doable.

Those ramps worked WAY better to step up to the neck than I expected.

ya, that was easy.  i wonder if my belly would hit the 3" round support if the car was backed on till the diff hit the V 

[mr.mindless]

Probably...

only metal


im all for the step deck, but it seems a lot of effot with how big my truck appears with a tap measure


move the round support, pull my car on 4' forward and rescale i think is our next easy step.

target weight is <14000lbs on trailer spindles  no fuckes given any other weights 

[Nick]

What is the weight rating for the rear axle on the truck

[M4wdFab]

12k or 16k ill check tomorrow

[mr.mindless]

Even with a longer neck if needed for your silly huge bed, a stepdeck is something that actually helps me out in my goals for two rigs plus pop-up so I'm a bit more inclined towards that if mods are actually taking place.

i am gona vote i need a bigger welder if we are gona tackle that lol

[M4wdFab]

im open to options.  i think my deck is going to make the swap not as good though.


im up for anything if it saves me $7k in trailer expense this year

[mr.mindless]

Your welder is plenty. I think the absolute thickest parts of the beams are only 3/8"

i just diagramed out a model, and got 15636 on the trailer axles with approx weights and distances

             car1   2   3      trailer   axles
weight   4600         4600   4500      5500   15637
pin R               9          23    33        23        27
          41400   105800 148500 126500   422200

[M4wdFab]

calculations show flipping my car around and 2' forward, with CG 4' now forward, and other 2 cars 2' forward on deck, axle weights will be at 14200

we can leave your heavy ass ramps on the tail of the trailer home also since they are not needed

therorecticlly my car will be 4400lbs, but plan to have 4 spare tires on truck bed and under my car on from of trailer deck.
