    Any body know why when they do tri-axel trucks they dont spread them as far like a regular chicken or bull wagon it mite sound crazy but im thinking this is lenght limits and weight but is it smart to get a truck and get a longer 300 inch stretch and add a lift axel can. I get some much needed knowlege truckers

    Yea, get a wheel base that long and pull a long trl. and try to make a turn.
    I'm running a 265 wheel base with a tri in the rear.. Making turns in tight spots is not easy. pull up back up and re group..

    Plus the bridge laws and trying to get full weight on the steer that long means you need a long neck on the trl. and a long 5th wheel slider aas well
