Re: Mods to Safely Upgrade Towing Capacity?

Derwud,

Can you provide commentary on why 35 feet (weight aside) is a lot of trailer for our truck? What is the logic on length being impactful and is there some sort of a "formula" to determine an ideal length for a specific truck. I'm remembering my sailing days where knowing hull length would help determine max speed.

Thanks for the Shocks brand PRG/Bilstein, Any specific suggestions for the brakes or tires? Will I be able to reuse my Offroad stock rims?

Bullwinkle,

I'm guessing this gets to the heart of the matter for why I can't safely tow at this level and that these areas are not really resolvable ie, receiver, frame, axles, driveline. These are areas I probably can't reasonably address. Just curious though, what is the max a Class IV hitch can pull?

Thanks,

Paul
