2 things i want to add. First watch for axle placments and what you aare hauling. I have seen axles place right back to the beavertail part of the trailer and I have seen axles in the center of the trailer, just depends what you need. I MUST say that dual jacks in front ARE A MUST. IF you ever have the need to unhook the trailer loaded the dual jackas are must better stability wise if your load isnt qute centered. Good luck Also like evryone is saying watch the brakes brakes brakes. I can PULL 15000 lbs with a 1/2 ton. (Dont laugh i bet i could get it rolling and pull it down the road.

We were going a short distance back roads and slow but still shouldnt ahve been done. The truck wil pull the load no problem, i have seen guys haul truck trailer and load 65,000 lbs of hay before. It will pull it but you will not stop it. You cant stop it. I personally have never cared if the clutch goes out motor blows up i dont like it but as long as i can get stopped ive always been happy. Also pull the trailer if the a]xles arent exacly sqare it will want to push the rear of the truck all over, and it will weable wobble
