That's a weird gizmo. But I'm not sure any benefits from the second axle would be realized, because the frame didn't get beefed up so the load capacity doesn't change, and since you now have two drive axles all your diffs have to be open, so you don't actually gain any traciton when you would actually need it. You couldn't lock any pair of wheels together and still be able to turn. Besides, with a through pinion axle (like a semi) you have all your power going through something that is inside the diff, not something bolted onto it and sticking 18 inches up.
And the eBay truck is lowered. Which again defeats any benefits of haivng a beefed up tow rig. Worthless.

I bet it would be a great tow rig.
I think the colour is kinda ugly but the rest of the truck is pretty nice.
The guy spent alot of time and money on it and if he likes it , thats all that counts!

With the suspension mods it has....doubtful it could do it.

Exactly, thats what I was thinking. Also, wonder how he backs the boat down the ramp with the body that close to the ground.

Im sure it could pull a 5th wheel travel trailer etc.
It doesnt really look like a pig /hay farm hauler anyway.

Well, usually when I see a truck that low, it's on bags. So when I do see it that low, the bags are deflated, which means they get aired up to do any "real" driving.
I'm not saying it is bagged, I'm not saying that the way it looks is it's ride height, hell, I'm not really saying anything. But you can park a truck and take pictures. I didn't see any pictures of it rolling down the road.
