Felt fairly at ease before pulling around my old set up, but feeling a little anxious about my new added length. Any advise please.
REALLY??? 42' 12,000# 5er. Why talk unloaded weight? Looks like your GVWR is around 15,500#. Fully loaded you may want to check your trucks rear axle weight.
Since it's in the ordering stages I would highly advise they change the POS "E" tires to some quality "G" tires.
I would agree with that. My Cardinal GVWR is 16K, weighing in at 15.5K loaded. I had the G rated tires put on at factory, otherwise it would have come with E rated tires. They are a much beefier tire. If you have the option of going to disc brakes, I'd do that too. That's the *one* option I wish I had thought about a little more.
