your dead on at 58ft, im realy amazed by loading 6860 lbs onto the trailer it only added very little to my truck but it was at the rear of the trailer and over the tri axels on the trailer, i looked at that dually and the sticker on it gvwr 10000 lbs so its only 400 lbs over my 250 but that does make a diff. THANK YOU SIR btw just had to pay ins cash up front prog- lol you already know why dont you, new ven.509Views0likes0CommentsRe: help with weight

It is impossible to put more weight on the FA than the RA, unless the pin is closer to the FA than the RA, which obviously it isn't. So little pin weight isn't safe either, but you probably don't care. the 5th wheel is slid foward all the way so it put more on the fa than the rear axel, thats what they supposed to do when setup right just like a big truck when they slide one notch it can throw between 250 and 300 lbs on the front axel, hence the reason i got a slider, now im takeing off the tailgate/spare moved to under rear trailer/ chains binders moved to box at trailer rear/might take out pas seat/bed tool box and all gear to trailer rear/. When i loaded that dually onto the trailer i had it at the very rear with 14 ft left in front so i can put something lighter there or coulda moved it foward if need be to get my pin some weight back on it.509Views0likes0CommentsRe: help with weight
got scaled this morn with a 91 f350 dw on the trailer and my slider 5th wheel all the way foward steer 4200/ drive 4360/ trailer axels 11200/ gross 19760- i cant see how this dually only weighs 6860lbs, its lighter than my f250 yet has a 10000 gvwr and 7100 gawr, thats 1000lbs more rear cap than my f250, i had the dually at rear across the tri axels, the slider did help throw some weight to the steer more than just sit on the rear axel, added 180 to steer and 40 to the rear axel.511Views0likes0CommentsRe: help with weight
mr taylor, you are correct id be way better off but current situation has me bound with what i have at hand now, not to say im gonna do this regaurdless because if i cant do it legaly im not leaving the house, its not worth it, i bought a slider 5th wheel this evening and it moves the pin foward about 6 inches, i hooked up and made sure turns no problems and i can still leave tailgate open when hooking up, i loaded up a truck and going to the scales in the morning to see whats what on the steer/drives/total and ill post numbers here, already know what my combo weighs empty so then ill know how much this truck weighs i loaded on the trailer, its a dualy loaded with stuff. IF this will not work ill contact ford because the f250 and 350 are same axels brakes springs housings bearings ect. thank you mr taylor327Views0likes0CommentsRe: help with weight
You said yours has it tho, YOURS not just some page on the internet, right? ready to make any wagers? Now you stepped in this conversation with nothing but negativity and no real help at all but to tell the OP he dont have enough truck and cant do this or that yet you state your not the dot right?327Views0likes0Comments
