[QUOTE="skipnrocks, post: 704026, member: 3166"] So today was my first test. I loaded one buggy on the trailer with weight centered over the axles and hit the road. I could see when I hooked it to the truck it did make it squat a little so I needed to see if the tongue weight was sufficient to pull proper. I started at 55 for a bit hitting some bumps and turns watching for any notable unusual trailer behavior. It rode as straight and smooth as before I did the mod so I hit the interstate and rode at 70 with some corners etc and the good times continued. I dropped the buggy off to get the gear work done and was nervous a little to have it with no weight but I couldnt tell the difference loaded vs unloaded. So the goods of the project, it sure was nice when unloading to hit a button and have my ramps drop, and vise versa when loading. It is great to have the additional length. and also great that it turns like a 30ft trailer but is 39 ft long. I guess real test will be moab next week. 16 hours with three rigs, two full size in front of the axles and the kids on the dove tail. [/QUOTE]
