    Won’t you run into issues with states not recognizing that configuration? I know some will, but others will not. Unless a lot have relaxed their rules and I am just unaware. Which is completely possible.

    But with 132 swing neck. I would think with a single you should at least still get 15 on the steer. If the jeep has a long enough neck.

    Maybe not… I forgot you have a set forward axle. I was going off where my weight falls, but mine is set back. I can get a legitimate 19k on my steer with 125” swing.

    I can bury the steer as tridem but with a jump jeep and the 22’ spread I am not so sure and it is hard to simulate

    Talbert trailers has a load calculator. Enter your spacings and load weight and CG and it will calculate axle weights. It’s pretty accurate but not easy to navigate

    Agreed! Well unless they are stupid wide and tall, sometimes the customers what them in the craziest of places. Add to this is the length can be problematic.
