    Yeah I need a 17' neck, which I don't have

    The consensus is that I will over load the jeep way before I get enough weight on the drives

    Very discouraging

    On the plus side I did re-check with AZ and they would issue me a 58k tridem class c interstate permit if my lift axle had 4 tires, which of course it does not.

    It would really be nice if there wasn't such a variance between states with some of this stuff.

    Yea, but did not get to take "the short one" for crab legs tonight.
    They did'nt have an airbag, nor could they find one.
    So we "borrowed" the one on the flip axle that I have up off the ground..

    Did your wife have a good Holiday?
