Picked it up today
Home sweet home!
I can imagine, I glanced at the specs for that trailer, not knowing exactly which model or length, it appears the payload capacity ranges fromWell found out that the race jeep is to heavy for the toy hauler got the bouncing to stop but still wanted to sway so back to square one. Darn the luck...
I have dual sway control. The jeep has a big tube fold down tire carrier on it and on the scales it show the weight to be like a 47 to 53 split front to rear so we figured backing it in would be the best bet. The jeep does weigh in at around 4800lbs and trailer cargo capacity is 5300lbs so I thought it might work. Live and learn I guess.
Interesting on that weight ratio, didn't think it would be that close, or even heavier on the rear, but given the equipment that's about what I estimated it to weigh.I have dual sway control.

Agreed, that payload capacity has to include all supplies in the trailer, assuming you have the 100 or so gallon fresh water tank filled, that's over 800lbs right there alone, you are overweight and haven't even loaded the propane tanks, groceries, tools/gear, clothes etc.Yeah, that's not giving you much leeway. Figure that 500# buffer doesn't include 800# worth of fresh water, clothes, groceries, propane, etc.
Can you move the rig further toward the front of the trailer? Really needs to be centered on the axles, or slightly forward of center.
Nice! I've got a 71 F250 crewcab and I keep toying with the idea of a 4x4 conversion and Cummins swap.79 f350 cummins swap with Allison transmission View attachment 64202 View attachment 64202
