Check your wheel ratings. Method makes a nice wheel called the NV305HD that has a 4500lb capacity per wheel, if your current ones aren't sufficient. A lot of aftermarket wheels have poor capacities.
Be aware of your rear axle capacity, and confirm where you are loaded with the trailer, at the scales.
I wouldn't bother upgrading brakes on the truck. Upgrading the trailer to EoH disc, on the other hand, is worth doing.
Thanks.
Wheels are XD Monster III's rated at 3640 and the tires are Toyo AT Open Country rated around the same. My rear axle is rated for 7250 so I think I should be fine? Or should I consider higher capacity wheels?
The trailer tongue weight is 1400 lbs, but obviously this will change once I add the ProPride and add cargo, toys, etc. I assume I should still be under the 2k limit on the truck. I do plan to find some scales once I have the trailer and everything dialed in.
I'll check around on the trailer brake upgrades.
