Why wouldn't he be able to make it legal? How much weight would he have to have on the deck to run into distribution problems?
Now he’s getting a Jeep and stinger

Not much but the very nature of that setup dictates it will have a fair amount of weight on it. With a trailer like that you just don’t throw the machine on there and it’s legal.
-
Is that because its going to be a 2+2+2 or the fact that he'd have to be screwing around with the shims?
-
It’s the shimming, shimming is harder than you think.stwik, Nothereoften, Tug Toy and 2 others Thank this.
-
It looks complicated.. I seen a guy in upstate NY with about 2 inches worth of shims in between his trailer and his booster
-
So would a fixed axle trailer be easier to deal with?
cke Thanks this. -
What do you mean by “fixed axle”?
-
He could splurge for a nitro booster but obviously it will weigh a bit more and have more upkeep.
I suppose pulling the same trailer all the time. Shimming it won't be a big deal once he gets used to it. We all suck at things when we first start.Oxbow Thanks this. -
A nitro booster won’t compensate for the bogies ahead of the stinger. You still have to level them.
