Remember you can add another axel and the trailer will still only be GVW rated for what is on the MFG tag. If you got over 80.000 on the trailer and someone starts digging your going to get some paper hung on you.
Them Texas troopers got it down..
The only way to get the higher weight rating MFG tag is if its made at the factory with the third axel.
Adding lift axle cost $$$

Im not trying to add lift axle so I can haul more weight, its to lift it when Im deadheading or backing up in tight spots and don't want to put stress on spread axle.
KB3MMX and strollinruss Thank this. -
Couple friends bought the kits and had them welded up in my buddies shop, they had about $650 to $700 in them with valves and line which was extra. Taking it to a shop and paying them to do it, is going to cost a lot more needless to say.

Is there anything that you need to do with the abs on the axle that is lifted? Won't the abs light come on and stay on?
