    I would have to go back to Trail King engineering to analyze it. I got a big thumbs down on running my trailer as a 2+2 from them. Can only run as a 4 or 3+1 and no way to reinforce for a 2+2

    The much longer neck with a longer flip seems like it would really stress the neck

    As the others said, I don't see any way for you to be able to scale that kind of weight out west with your current set up. You've got an east coast trailer and that's the only place it'll work for you with the weights you want. Probably the cheapest way to be able to scale anywhere close to that kind of weight would be to buy a lightweight 50 ton triaxle trailer with a long neck, the better, more expensive option would be a california 9.

    The easiest way is to avoid Cali altogether, but you already ruled that out
