Kind of depends on what your tractor axles are rated. If they were rated 44/46,000 you're good to go fully loaded.
-
Does it matter the steer axle? And i think i have only 40,000 on drive
-
The steer is usually permitted at 12,000 unless you have a heavy axle. I've run just fine with 112,000 with a 3 axle RGN. I can't really say if 40,000 is enough. It's right on the edge of permits which will often allow you 20,000 for each axle. Light? No problem at all, I'd say.
-
Yes light. Nothing over 80,000 GVW
-
Only thing to really be concerned about is disconnecting to load vehicles. I don't know about mechanical, but with a hydraulic neck you'll need to keep a 4x6 or 6x6 to bridge the frame and have either a pony motor or a wet kit for your truck.
-
It's mechanical. Thank you
-
When buying a permit, I have never been ask what my axles are rated for, just how many I had.
-
You won’t have any issues pulling a 2 axle rgn around with that truck. Make sure you put a decent set of frame ramps on though if it’s a mechanical neck.Tb0n3 Thanks this.
-
Thank you. I saw there are different sizes of ramps. Do i have to measure my frame or should i made some custom ones?
