I'd love to see a pic of the gooseneck hooked up. I have never seen a swb with a gooseneck and it be a pretty interesting sight.

i never had a problem "pulling" the boat. it was stopping it that was fun. i have since put on a brake controller so i can use the brakes on the trailer.

i also have a 28' gooseneck trailer i use to pull horses. i installed a homemade gooseneck hitch and love it.

Your coils are totally shot. That truck shouldn't have that much rake, ever. Oh, and a coil spacer lift DECREASES wheel travel, and increases clearance. Not the other way around.

Get an alignment too.

I think in the first picture(before) he is backed up a slight incline. It may give the allusion of a front end that low. Plus he has bigger tire (265's in that picture if im correct) which would make the wheel weld look smaller, and lower
