    It is not optimal to say the least but it will act more like a 2/2 in the front and a 3/1 in the back. It is an east coast trailer so that will help a little more if the stinger is a nitro.

    A 1/2/2/3/1 is a common Canadian set up but isn’t worth a #### in 20k axle state

    That's what I was thinking. I hope he has a second axle for that booster somewhere. He is going to have a hell of a time trying to get any weight up to the truck with all that neck.

    Some guys will drop the neck on the back of the trailer or deck and chain it back to hold up the neck and then back onto the deck and pull the jeep off. I say screw that - use a forklift or a crane or wrecker and it takes 1/10th of the time and energy.

    I actually had legs built on the big neck for my multi axle. It acted like a tripod 2 front legs and a block under the rear pin. I t was a super pain in the butt and if you were not on asphalt or concrete you would end up push the thing around trying to hook it.

    You can use a chain to flip the neck but it is ugly. I have a hydraulic flip neck - so I use a lever....

    Forklift or crane works great. The good forklift operators can flip the neck with one fork and catch it with the other. Other times it just falls and makes a lot of noise. Probably isn't great for the welds either.
