I use it and appreciate a lot more than I thought I would on my Ford. No I did not look as it was a SRW I am getting another dually326Views0likes0CommentsRe: Equal-izer Hitch Bars

When you do the calculation on their website they ask for the bed weight i guess because you are transferring weight from the rear axle and anything over the axle adds to the transfer weight What is the issue with having to stiff of the bars? 1400 versus 1200 A rough ride and potential damage to the type frame Bars are like shoes Bigger isn’t better The right size is the right size As for the bed weight some believe in adding it in Some don’t Whatever you believe only the weight behind the tv rear axle would be counted I have now had 3 different sized EQUALIZER hitches As I moved up in tt weight I bought the next size up to match the weight193Views0likes0CommentsRe: Goodyear Marathon Class Action Suit
Or go with LT tires No special care needed myredracer wrote: Well, we got 5-1/2 seasons out of Chinese Marathons and just installed a set of Endurance. I've been anal about checking pressure regularly and never going over 65 mph. We've also had a high reserve load capacity at around 30% due to installing LRD instead of the OEM LRC. IMHO, many blowouts on ST tires can be attributed to not treating them like they need to be - never tow under-inflated, overloaded or over their speed rating and have at least 15% reserve load capacity. Lawyers could never prove that was followed. Plus, I would think each failed tire would have to be dissected and inspected by a tire engineer to confirm the cause of a failure which would never happen. Trial lawyers are always looking for ways to line their pockets. Article said they were investigating to see if a class action lawsuit "could be filed". If it's a year old, this is the first I've heard of it and probably didn't go anywhere. Some lawyer probably had a blowout and decided he wanted to get even, lol! If anyone is to blame, I would say it is RV manufacturers and dealers failing to advise/educate owners on how to treat ST tires.296Views0likes0Comments
