    Yes, either

    Alot of guys ask this and all I can say is a 53 will always offer more loads. However, 53' spreads look WHACKED imo. Mine's a 48 and I have no problems

    No

    Go with a spread, you won't regret it. Quick dumps on both axles are a must.

    Run a 50' Utility with spread axle with quick dumps (got to have those) and nice noisy Thermo King unit. :biggrin_255:

    For those of you who pull a 53', just how many time to you load to the door? Usually not...so you're cooling 3' of empty space...no thanks!

    Fifty-feet here too. I think I can count on one finger the number of loads in the last year that required 53'.

    50 is the way to go but if you are buying used there are VERY few out there
