[QUOTE="Eddyj, post: 299703, member: 3779"] So I own a trailer that makes me a lot of money. The problem is that it was manufactured in Italy and I had it shipped over. It's top heavy,weighs about 14000 pounds, is about 25 feet long, axles are centered, two axles, and has a 2 5/16 ball. It pulls like jdtacoma walks after :drinkers: I've switched from 16 inch rims to 17.5 with 215 tires. Didn't really help. Added equalizers and separate sway controls help a little. Tongue weight seems to be ok, squats my dodges ( but so does everything ). So I'm thinking about cutting off hitch and adding a gooseneck, my question is does any have a trailer setup for 14000 total weight and what material is the actual neck made from? Channel, I-beam, or rectangle tubing best option? And the kicker is I will have to remove the neck weekly with 2 people so I don't want to just build it stupid heavy. Thanks bring on the engineers!
