    Nah, my steer stayed planted pretty well. My ball was mounted 2-3" ahead of the drive axle. Not enough to really load the steer more than 60lbs or so, but not stealing weight form it either..

    My dodge had a pretty good nose down rake to it, so even with the drive overloaded, it wasn't too bad. Never to the point I noticed people flashing brights at me excessively cause they were being blinded..

    More the feeling of the tail wagging the dog, ya know. 28k behind a 8k lb truck just feels funny too me sometimes..

    Can't recall part number, but eaton has a cooler bracket that mount to the rear box and hangs down. I run one,but my truck is a pavement princess.

    Just look at eatons website. If it has a oil pump, you must have a cooler. Or minimum plum a line port to port. You can not simply plug the off.

    If it does not have a oil pump, you can plug the ports.

    What prompted the tire/wheel change? I might've missed it.
