I don't know but it looks like he does need some helper springs I used Super Springs and they worked great and had no effect on the truck when it was empty but keep it level when under load.rowekmr wrote:
Really nice looking truck and trailer, how much does the trailer weigh?
Thanks. Believe it or not, I've got Timbrens installed. Remember, it's lifted and sitting level with no wieght. It no longer has the 1" inch raised rear it comes with from stock. It actually only drops by 1" with the trailer on it but causes the front to raise a bit. Reason for the extreme dropped look. One thing I've noticed is that the leaf springs are softer than my prior (05 F250) and has only 3 vs 5. Another thing, the GN hitch/ball sits right on the rear axle. My other (05) sat about 4 inches in front(less weight distributed to the front.
I haven't weighed the trailer but I'm sure I am real close the the GVW of 14k. And yes, I'm probably over on the pin weight so don't shoot me.
