I know it is light but rated for 7tons but this is going on the back, because I already own it!! right now I tare at 10,000lb and the gvw max is 11,000lb so I can basically haul NOTHING legally but went through scales with a load of 6400ish lbs

sorry for the slow progress and the poor cell pics but have been working on other stuff, ended up with a 68" wheelbase and had to leave the tail a bit longer than I wanted to the wheel lift didn't hit the differential, which means a relocate of the wheel wells and the wheel aches in the deck or cut the rear apron and have a push out like the century decks do
