    Ok I'm really trying to get started in car hauling. I will be pulling a 3 car wedge. I just got a 2008 Chevy 2500 it's what I can afford at the time. I see guys pulling 3 car haulers with single wheel all the time however I never get close enough to see if it's a 2500 or 3500. Will I be ok hauling small cars and watching weight displacement or am I completely screwed?

    2500 won't do it. to be exact you will need more than just a pick up truck.

    You can buy a duel wheel rear end at junk/yard and have it put on with spring set and have a lot better ride hauling 3 cars?

    Yeah until you get inspected and the door sticker says one thing and you have almost twice the amount on the axle. OOS you will be.
