Adding a pusher axel on your truck

Rowe truck equip sell a 25000 lb axle for around $3200. They also can install it in about a day and a half.

 

You're adding an axle they've already talked about the frame and stuff. What do you have for a 5th wheel and how much slide does it have?

Don't cut truck in half and add. Add frame rail to the back then move suspension back. It would also be a good time to insert inner frame rails up to trans at least. As long as you have 1860 series driveline and trans that will be enough. Rears i wouldnt go any higher than 3.70 ratio. Fith wheel should be able to slide at least six inches ahead of front drive axle. Can get by with less? Yes, but reliability will have a short life.

 

Whats your reasoning for this?

 

Only 1 splice in the frame rather than 2.

 

I get that...
I don't consider two seams a bad thing. As long as its done by a competent welder... and if it has a sleeve inside. Moving the suspension back is considerably more time.
