Would'nt use a Fast Track with a Combo. Only a aluminum. youll be chomping at the bit with most loads out of the mills seem to run around 48k anymore. If you weigh 30k now bet youll be close to 32k to 32500k. leaving you around 47500 pay load. Covered wagons are good for sheet and really nice for Coils. but if you ever have to break the kit down it sure stinks.

I weigh 32,500 with mine full of fuel. With my sidekit I was 32,100 or so. When I put the quickdraw on I cleaned alot of junk off my trailer which helped with my lightweight.
When you have a sidekit you don't realize how much extra junk you carry on the trailer. With the Quickdraw I have a front door so I don't carry as much, cause I don't have the room for it now.

i saw someone had a sidekit that mounted flush with the outside rails, so you could use the existing spools for tiedown points

i will try and find the website, it has a rubber flap that fits over the side rails to seal it, and also allow chains and straps to be used.
