I have a 2014 Landmark Savannah and have a 3800 LB. pin, and this is with a loaded weight of 15,580 lbs.
If you look at these empirical results, he’s 24.5 percent on the pin. So Landmark is known to be a heavy hauler.
For my situation with a Cedar Creek 34ik. I’m starting out from dry at 18% on the pin with a 16200 GVWR and a dry weight of 12500.
I will stay at 14500lbs loaded and with this B&W companion slider, my aux fuel tank, I’m going to be right at 3700 lbs payload. So empirical results, at 75% loaded, my 2018 Ram Bighorn 3500 Crew Cab SB SRW HO loaded right now without the aux tank and the load directly over the axle the truck is 42.5in unloaded at the center of the rear wheel and 40 3/8 in loaded. 40 inches is level. I have 8 inches of clearence.
So I may need air bags.
I think this llandmark trailer will need a Duelie. Now you could go with Airlift 5000 ultimate airbags and 19.5 inch Ricksons. You probably would exceed every sticker on the truck and the strick weight constitutionalists would raise the alarm and I’m not recommending this but you could talk to folks who have and get their advice.
The weight would be satisfied but you may need to upgrade the brakes also.
So like many have said, it would just be easier to get a duelie.
Good Luck!
