I guess the whole part of this story is. Did he get more than 10 miles
Is it really 43,000 NOT I will hook on to an equal trailer with him right now in my 92 Dodge Cummins and I will go farther and faster than he will ever dream of going If he does not believe it than E-mail me.
set up the time and place

AKA Dodge Motorhome front springs, The company in PA where they came from said they are stiffer than the Moog Severe Duty version. It holds true. I have already ruined 2 front shocks by yanking the upper studs right off of them, I dont know if I would recommend them, since right now im not running front shocks.

I believe he towed that about 1500 miles or more, I think. It was his complete garage and had it weighed at a Truck stop. It did weigh in like he posted. He just couldn't believe it as the his truck ran like a top while pulling it. He payed close attention to his stopping abilities and everything else to make sure it was a safe trip.
