Randu,
What did you pull with


2004 GMC 2500HD 8.1 big block gas w/Allison. 4:10 rear end.
Used Timbrens to dampen the bounce on the bridge transitions and to keep box more level.

A lot depends on the exact trailer as there is a wide variation to weights depending on floor plan. Also depends on if there is a washer/dryer ahead of the axles and how full you load the basement.
My 34 model actually was 35' long but some of the 35-36 models were closer to 38'long.
