dont you already have a flatbed?

 

[Erikclaw]

dont you already have a flatbed?

Yeah I do, but seems like the wheels are on the weak side. 15", Rob said they are at their limit so I will get a heavier set. Think all the rest is alright. Can't afford to have the little guy break down back there, they may never let him out of the state.
Need to mount a winch on it and make the fenders removable so I can get my truck on.

if its a 10k gvw you're fine.

 

[Erikclaw]

if its a 10k gvw you're fine.

I am pretty sure it is, bought from a friend for a good deal so I don't for sure know its gvw. Hauled my old 04 F150 cc on it and hauls great. Weighs a little less but should be good.

if it is 6 lug, you're fine.

 

[Dzchey21]

like mike said lug or most 15 inch wheel should give you the load rating that you need.

 

[Erikclaw]

Just looked at it and its a 5 lug wheel. Rob doesn't like the thought of that.

its 3500lb axles. subtract the trailer weight and its prolly good for 5500lb load capacity.

 

[Dzchey21]

probably only 3500 lb axles, its probably ok, but that far of a trip would be a bit of a risk. what are the tires rated for?

 

[Erikclaw]

Not looking like this thing is up to that long of a trip. Tires are rated at 1950lbs. Not even 8000lbs total. Too risky I think. Not quite as hd as I once believed.

I am looking into that now. Thinking that is what I need to do.
LOL just read that again, looking to buying one and keeping it. No freebees for taco.

What is a good length for hauling this beast? 18 or 20ft?

 

[Dzchey21]

the longer the better LOL

I think hallers has a 20 footer and my truck just barely fits, like my back tires are on the dove lol and the rear bumper and tailgate is over hanging the trailer

 

[jdgleason]

Id say 20 at the least to be comfy. 25 would be ideal

Thinking the 20' with dove tail, 12,000 gvw. So it will be closer to 22'.
