Thanks, I try to keep it nice.

 

Yall gotta be careful over loading these trucks.

A guy at work got a little to carried away with his 08 Dodge 5500 and look at what happen to him.

I bet if he had a ford it would have pulled it

 

I brought this Ram 1500 up from Colorado Springs last week.

 

Can't tell much from the pic. What'd it do, roll over and die?

 

Wow, your truck appears to hold that weight really well. Any rear suspension upgrades done to it?

 

Yeah, I have F-350 rear leaf springs with overloads, I pull so much that it's worth the rough ride. The truck also has a sterling 10.25 rear end like the superdutys.

 

My wife tows this almost every weekend during the summer This was before we added an extra overload spring.

 

Looks heavy.
What does that rig weigh?

 

weight is one thing that has to have one killer tongue weight!

 

We haven't weighed it loaded yet but we figure the trailer loaded weighs about 19,000. The plate on the trailer says 12,000 but that was before the living quarters was finished. 5 horses , feed, tack, water tanks filled,,, etc and it adds up in a hurry. Tongue weight isn't so bad. The horses are mainly over the axles. The space forward of the ramp is living quarters

 

Here is a interesting one I did today. 1980, 11K spent the better part of an hour re-wireing it so I could move it from near baltimore md to past berkley springs wv.

Then once I was there the lady has a narrow twisted road with no turn around so i had to back down it, of course it was muddy as well.

 

Nahh, we needed to do some welding on the underside of the trailer, It wasnt connected to the truck or anything, we just used the trackhoe to pick it up and lay it on its side.

 

Here's my current rig. The trailer is 22' from tongue to bumper with 18' of open deck. This picture was taken on our way to go get dirty with some friends. My tow vehicle (wife's DD) is a 2001 Excursion Limited with the V-10. Only way I knew the trailer was there was when I looked in the mirror.

 

I wouldn't say they're heavy...but at about 9k pounds (didn't scale it) and 9 ft wide by 12 ft tall by 30 some-odd feet long...it was interesting taking it across town to a warehouse to get it out of the weather.
