he should have put that black thing on the trailer backwards. It would have balanced the trailer better.

The trailer ramps aren't going to let him do that.

You don't want to put the weight of the engine behind the axles. That's an accident waiting to happen, not to mention the trailer begins to wag the truck at highway speeds when loaded improperly.

He just needs a set of airbags, just like Chase does.

My buddy just got his air bags today. We installed them in just over an hour.
No drilling. I was impressed and ordered a set. My truck likes to hold it's head up too.
If you are interested tell them you have cupon: WEEKENDOFF for additional $10 off.

Actually, his rear springs are worn down and he really does need airbags. He's just not listening. (yet) Right Chase?
