    I would say a good shop should be able to stretch the frame and driveline for about 3,500 to mount your trailer bed on your truck? I would have to see a picture of your trailer, it will depend on if you can just cut the neck and axles off of it and mount the trailer frame on your truck frame.

    WARNING: a couple of things that you HAVE to consider, how much deck space do you need? all 30' or less? Is it going to cause you an issue with bed height, depending on how it is done your bed height could/will be higher than it is now!

    What are you hauling, is it an EVENLY distributed weight, or concentrated in one place?

    Depends on your tire ply and weight on the tire, different manufactures have charts for graduated air pressure by weight.
