Does the trailer have brakes on both axles?

 

of course it does, its a heavy equipment trailer.

 

this is the trailer, nowhere near 8k pounds....

 

Huh. I am still mind boggled because this truck does handle heavy loads just fine. Any ideas why? I know for one thing it doesn't have half-ton springs on the rear and it's been lifted 2 inches in the rear which helps with towing. But still...

 

how wide are your rear springs? i have a 2" HD aal on my springs, and it helped, but you still are risking your life, and others by doing it.

 

2 1/2in wide 5 leafs.

 

those are half ton springs my friend. i had 4 leafs before my aal....

 

Yes I know they are half ton axles. Chrysler 9 1/4 on the rear. Point is: someone has upgraded springs and other things. I hope you don't think I am trying to argue as I am not, simply trying to figure out why it does what it does so well.

 

yep, said axles, meant springs...... major typo....

 

Not trying to be a dick but I honestly dont think it handles 15k like your saying it does.. NO 1500 will.. I just have a hard time accepting it.. Ive hauled many different loads around that weight range if not more and I was doing that in a Cummins and there is times I still wish I had more truck... Even if your truck can handle it like you say you are gettin awful close to pushing the limits of a class C license... I am really interested in a build sheet and some pictures of the suspension setup along with a picture fully loaded... Just for ***** and giggles..
