My truck is pretty stiffly sprung. Specs say the springs are 7500 lb capacity.
If I put the bumper pull horse trailer on empty, the overloads come in contact.TW for trailer is suppose to be 350 lbs empty.

1/2 the camper weight (750) lbs will be on the back axle and fully loaded trailer will have 750 lb tongue weight, 40% of 8800 lb truck wil be 3520 lbs.
Total will be 5020 lbs on rear.

Good idea to all Timbrens. I'll do that this AM

I called Timbrens( Canada) and spoke to the tech guy. He claims if I put a set of Timbrens on( DR3500B) that I won't need a weight distribution system. It will keep the back from sagging.
Any experience here from guys that have put them on?
$295.I can get the ligther ones for $199. The thing is, I don't want to spend $550 on a weight distribution system ( Reese hitch) and the $295 or $195 on the Timbrens or air bags if one will do the trick.

I think I am on the brink of information over load. confused

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
