    I will have to say there is night and day difference in towing with a gooseneck other then the truck pulling the weight the ride is almost like it's not even back there going threw turns it doesn't push the truck side to side you always feel in control the truck did good pulling it other then some decent size hills it got up to 3600 rpm a few times but that understandable overall I am happy with it

    I'm probably over the GVRW but I'm am within the GCWR but I'm will never know unless I put it on a scale

    Dropped the back 3.25" and the front only .2" so not to bad may end up putting bags on the truck to pick it back up

    Yes it is a B&W and is about 4" in front of the axil. The trailer is a big tex 14 GP 20' weighs about 3500# it is one of the lightest I could find around here for the price now just have to wait and see how it all goes when it gets here

    Hitch is in now just waiting on the trailer not to hard to put on but just seams like there's not a lot holding onto the frame one bolt and one u bolt on each side

    Thanks once I get the trailer and load everything on it I will see if I still need them and if so I will probably go with air bags or sumo springs thanks for the advice
  14. Rme2513
    Ok thanks I'll have to fine one and look at the spings on them I have a add a leaf I'm sure it helps some but probably not as much as the stock ones would I probably will still get a gooseneck I will be within the gcwr but just in the edge of the trucks gvwr and was wondering how they get a greater weight rating for them but looks like it's just in the springs
  15. Rme2513
    Ok so the only real difference is the heavy duty springs I have a 9.76 axle dose anyone have the NHT or know of one to actually look at them I wanna see the difference and if there is would they bolt up to my truck ?
  16. Rme2513
    Does any one know what what the exact difference is in the z71 and NHT packages are I know the gearing and shocks are different and has an added trans cooler but are the leaf springs different to and is there anything else that I did not mention? Just wondering where there are getting the extra towing capacity from just more gear or stiffer springs

    I went and looked at some goosenecks today and the wheels sit really far back so I really think that's going to put most of the tractors weight on the truck and that would be way to much so I was thinking about just getting a weight distribution hitch to get me by for now Maybe buy another trailer down the road but don't think it will be a gooseneck just a more heavy duty one
  18. Rme2513
    If one were to blow and not the other wouldn't it still cause a major problem with say 1200# on the tongue ?
  19. Rme2513
    would I have to get a compressor to regulate the pressure or just set them and forget them. Have you ever used them

    Well I lost a bearing and break on the way home I think the break must of stuck on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have breaks on both axils of the trailer they work pretty good only have them turned up to 6.5 volts on the controler with the sensitivity turned up
  22. Rme2513
    This is the trailer I'm looking at it's one of the lightest goosenecks they sell and with a 14 k GVWR it should be plenty for what I have with some to grow a double wheel would be to much for my truck far as weight I pulled it about 60 MPH up here for about 120 miles did not have any sway issues but the trailer is still maxed out so I will be getting a trailer just not sure what yet I was wanting to go with a gooseneck just to eliminate the sway not sure if a beefy bumper pull would fix the sway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    it does come off but don't really wanna man handle it and I had the bed full
  24. Rme2513
    police are no worries unless it's the DOT but I doubt they will bother me every one does that around here I did not buy it as a combo but they are sold that way with a 18' trailer and they all over hang
  25. Rme2513
    I thought about that but I have to make some sharp turns and I think it will hit the truck
