Pictures of your TC's towing trailers

I tow 6000-8000 lbs behind my truck with TC. It is set up with a 17K SuperHitch, 21" SuperTruss and 10K Harbor Freight WDH.

The TC sit sits fine on the truck with upper and lower StableLoads. The additional hitch weight is handled by Firestone airbags. Overall rear axle weight can be as much 8000 lbs, so 19.5" wheels are on my SRW.

Ok this is exactly what I wanted to see.
What the farthest you've towed something like that?
What you hot there? Race car?


I wanna say my torklift super truss is about 43" IIRC.
& my campers dry weight is just under 3k lbs.

The heaviest load I plan to pull should come somewhere around 8k more or less including the trailer.

I am currently shopping for a WDS for the trailer & already got a trailer tounge weight scale & will start marking the trailer positions for each of my cars positions so I can mark it once & know where to stop for each cars weights.

Torklift told me with the WDS I can have up to 1,200 lb tounge weight & 600 without it.

I hope this all works out like it should because I I have lots of plans.

I've gotta fix my leaking Airbags hope that will all I need for the heavy load?
Oh & I'm running 16" wheels.

& I've order a larger dia after market rear sway bar with Polly bushings.

& I wonder what else I might be forgetting?

I have a super hitch and plan to tow but have not yet.

How long is your extension?
& what do you plan to tow?

This combination has seen longer round trips from Seattle to St. Louis and Seattle to Lake Havasu, but there are many other shorter trips over the mountain ranges we do more often.

The trailer may haul a pair dune buggies or scooters or a combination of other toys based on our destination. When we dry camp, the trailer has two 42 gallon fresh water tanks, a 30 gallon gray tank, 17 gallons of gasoline and 100 lbs of LPG to make roughing it really not so rough. Our trailer is almost 3500 lbs empty but has a 10,000 lb capacity.

I ran three full lengths of e-track down the trailer floor and vertically every 5' along the walls. The buggies use wheel nets with one side anchored to the recessed d-rings in each corner of the trailer and the other side to the e-track. Loose items carried in the trailer are strapped to the walls. I suggest looking for a a trailer with one or more escape doors in the side wall if your vehicles have long doors that swing open - Otherwise you will climbing out the window or sucking in your gut to squeeze between the door and jam once inside. Try backing in as well as pulling in forward to see how vehicle engine and fuel tank affect your trailer balance.

I suggest beefing up the truck suspension so it can handle the TC without the airbags when not towing. When you tow, use the air bags to adjust for the weight of the hitch you are towing. Since you are running a DRW, you should be fine with tire capacity, but look into shocks with heavier dampening.

I actually already own the 10k rated open single car trailer.

So, even though my bags are always empty being they leak, I've been told it's bad to leave the empty.

I'm hoping they are still in hood enough shape, just need minimal work.

Seems it's leaking at the t-fitting.

I don't use a hitch extension, tows just fine.

Cool. I didn't know you were running 19.5s
21" Super Truss is the perfect length with an AF811.

I have a 24" and it's kinda long with my AF811. I bought it based on measurements I took while the camper was off my truck - so it was kind of measure and make an educated guess.

Glamorous photo from the Wal-mart parking lot near 160th & Meridian (those from the Tacoma / Puyallup area will know where this is)

I've since sold this trailer. I sold it Memorial Day Weekend of this year.

Yes, the truck still rides high in the rear with Stabeloads.
