I saw a guy using spring pad blocks, to raise or lower a car trailer. I have no opinion on this.
Kaufman 22ft partial tilt with dual 7k axles, gravity tilt with hydraulic damping cylinder. The one in the picture is the newest generation in the 15k "deluxe" version. What you wanna know about them? I've had 3 different generations, steel and wood deck, 14k and 15k, pin latch and lever latch, 20ft and 22ft, new, used, and abused.Don't know Which trailer thread had a recent discussion on tilt trailers, so I'll just put it here. Saw today; look like a church is getting some type of refrigeration unit. There's 2 fair sized compressors, under the unit. I'd have to Try out This tilt, to have an opinion on it! I'm sure it has pros & cons. Powered or gravity? Sorry, I didn't check.
And I saw 2 more of them on the Interstate today! Guess I started looking. Just seems odd, as I've only used a full bed tilt. I'd hate to start backing up, & it tip, high centering me. All depends on length & area of weight, I assume?Kaufman 22ft partial tilt with dual 7k axles, gravity tilt with hydraulic damping cylinder.

Hope that's Not Jody's lumber delivery ? !!!
They are made for short wheelbase stuff like skidsteers and mini-excavators. The tilt portion is 15ft9in, and they recommend a 94" wheelbase limit. But with a cylinder lockout, you could certainly handle a lot longer.And I saw 2 more of them on the Interstate today! Guess I started looking. Just seems odd, as I've only used a full bed tilt.

x2. you can get universal cats for well under $100.Buy 2 Magnaflow universal cats and weld them in.
You need cats so the O2 sensor signals allow proper AF ratio calculations. If you only had an upstream 02, different story entirely.
I read that these trucks are bad about throwing codes with anything other than OEM cats from GM, glad to hear universal cats seem to be working.
20?!?!?We've had 20 converters stolen off of trucks at work, and the local exhaust shop has done them all for 150-200 bucks. That was dropped off and picked up.
I missed the train earlier....so like a hobo!
That rear axle hates you!
Shift load. Negligible results.
Flatten dove tail. Extensive and possibly weaker done poorly.
Small lift. Will help but not solve distribution. Done this on more than one trailer btw. In your case the tube under perches does fit best. Watch how you tie in the ends for stress fatigue along weld seams.
Small lift and shift axle. What's needed for best result. Now you have a unicorn and possible hard sell after the fact.
Me personally. Buy different trailer. Sell current. Thread will then come alive for truck related.
Looking back at the trailer you were looking for vs what you got; what would the difference be? Or now that you have one this size, are you wanting a different size?
