Oh Yeah, lots of stuff. Firestone 5000lb air bags with on board compressor, and not in that picture but I added Rickson 19.5 inch wheels and continetal G rated tires rated at 3970 lbs at 110 PSI. Pulled like a dream and I never felt I was even a little unsafe. I did think I was tearing up the truck with the 373 Rear and 4R100 tranny. I had both protected with mag hytec pans and temperture guages but still I worried. So when a guy offered me the 08 DRW at a really good price I went ahead and bought the dreaded Dooly. Sold the 250 but I still have the Ricksons for sale. We leave monday for 6 weeks in the northeast including the NYC area. I'll be amazed if I come back with both fenders whole LOL. I don't think my pin weight is quite that high. I have an extended pin box on the MS. On the scale my rear axle weight was only 6300, of course I was careful to keep everything up front as light as possible. And I have no genny or Washer dryer. I weighed the truck unloaded but don't remember the rear axle weight. I'm guessing my pin weight was around 3200or so. Anyway, this 08 is a dream to tow with and that tow haul system is so far ahead of closing the EBV and locking the Torque Converter that it's embarassing how easy it drives.
