A cheaper easy fix would be to bag it, add a set of helper bags on the trailer
-
or you can do this
91B20H8, Crusader66, Ryan423 and 10 others Thank this. -
Just bolt some rollers to the bottom of the rail and add a second leveling valve so you can lift the suspension twice as high.
Crusader66, skootertrashr6, passingthru69 and 5 others Thank this. -
Dilbert, don't let the so called 'experts' give you any grief- they are just jealous of the $3/mi and the money they wasted on the 'proper' equipment.
Regarding your suspension question- obviously your compressor regulator is set way too low. Roll the hood & turn it up to where it cuts out at like 350psi, plug the relief valves, & jam the ride height valve on the trailer all the way up. The know-it-alls will tell you that's "really dangerous" & "not going to work" but what do they know?
Bunch of A-Holes
Also, all those chains & binders are heavy and add weight. Plus it's a lot of work.Gearjammin' Penguin, OLDSKOOLERnWV, Crusader66 and 15 others Thank this. -
Dilb, have you considered going down to ACE Hardware and picking up about 50 feet of 3/8ths wire rope 2 3 ton turnbuckles and a 4 3 ton shackles. Torch some holes in the goosneck part of the RGN each side and put inthe shackles and torch some more holes in the trailer about halfway down on each side and put in the shackles. Cut your 50 foot wire rope in half and make molly hogan eyes. Attach one end to the RGN side and the other end hooked into the turnbuckle which is attached to the trailer shackle. Tigten the ever lovin #### out of them and it will lift your trailer up off the ground.
Gearjammin' Penguin, Crusader66 and TripleSix Thank this. -
I wouldn't worry ... someone else will do the load for $2.50.....Crusader66, Chewy352, TripleSix and 2 others Thank this. -
I saw a cat today load a d8 on a 35 ton. Hey he had a flip. He'll be fine. Boy was it sagging in the middle.
