That's crap if it was billet...

Exactly. I was under the impression when I researched builders that they would always do the right thing if there was a problem. Even though they still gave me a break, I still wish I went with Goerend.

I'm still on a stock output with numerous 15-20psi boosted launches. Guess I'm just lucky - kind of like you guys with your truck on that trailer. No way that trailer is rated for that load.

You are mistaken about that. It's a 10k trailer. Each axle is rated at 5500. My brakes work well too.

Mine did that too. I just drilled it out and put the two parts back with Elmers Glue and a wood dowel.



Not really.

60\40. Everyone is crying and moaning about how far the truck is squatting, but look at the level of the trailer. It is perfect. Towed great, too.

Overall when it comes to tranny stuff, I say do it when you can afford it, not when you break it. Unless you LIKE breaking stuff, and I do, just not my truck.

yea but if the weight is over the tounge then you are carrying the weight on the hitch and im sure it isnt good for that load. Im not crying about it, i could careless i was just asking why you didnt roll it back a little and put some of the load on those 5500lb axles. Sorry bud didnt mean to make ya mad!

Heck no!

The back tires were almost on the dove tail... it's a 18', but it has 3' of dove... It'll hold the weight, just not the length. That's a 3/4 ton pulling me anyhow...

I'm amazed how many people on here a professional trailer loaders. I thought this thread was about your shaft not your pulling capabilities
