What do you guys think of my new trailer?!? So far I love it but it doesn't pull very well -- can anyone help me adjust it so it rides more level?

I think I would first look to make sure there are no broken leaf springs on your total rig. If you do not see any I would consider having a good suspension shop make you a new set with a couple extra leaves in them.

Just put the heaviest stuff in the back of the trailer you'll be fine.

You need a tongue jack with a wheel on it... extend it out until you are level and hit the road. Isn't that what that wheel is for????

perhaps the 2 X 500 lb propane tanks need to be moved to the rear bumper.

Or you could take the 1000 lbs of water out of the hauler....

Buyer: Are you sure I can pull this??

Dealer: Sure, you can pull that! People are pulling these off our lot everyday with a lesser vehicle than yours. You'll be fine, trust me!

So, the GF says I need to excercise more, but I love a good relaxing vacation, too. So instead of an expensive spa/gym resort trip, this is what she got me...

I saw that posted somewhere? along with a close up of the tongue. The A frame looks to be bent and the batteries are pressing into the front of the trailer!

I sent the picture string to a guy at Daytona Speedway in 2008 just before the 50th anniversary run of the Daytona 500.

He asked if I thought I would make it there in one piece?
