Yeah man, you’ll definitely need some help back there. You can see it’s already starting to sag even without the ATV. It adds up quick. Even without the gear in the bed, you have:
450 lbs ATV
80 lbs for the two propane tanks
40 lbs for the battery
150 lbs (bare trailer tongue weight maybe??)
————
720 lbs

Oh yeah and I would mess with the hitch until you finalize whatever you’re doing with the truck suspension and know where it will sit (height-wise) with everything on there.

Been doing some research I'm thinking about that Anderson anti sway weight distribution set up looks pretty good ?

I have the blue-ox setup and love it. Only other one I can claim to have experience with is the Equalizer brand hitch. HATED it.

For those of you trying to reach Izzy, you can reach him at 818-645-8941. It used to be him and a partner, but he ventured off on his own. He was the brains of all that anyway so doesn’t change anything really. And actually, his new shop is much nicer than the old one.

Yes I saw the blue ox I will keep reading and looking for a bit I still have my other rig so not in a huge rush which is nice not having to make a snap decision!
Thanks !

No problem man
I haven't went through the full 18 pages, but can this setup be purchased?
I've been searching and searching at the options that people have done on this forum.
I'm trying to decide on which route to go for my 2018. I only tow a couple times of year and it's fairly light at that. (bass/pontoon boat or a 4,800lb mini-excavator on a car trailer would be the heaviest). I'm looking at adding air bags to help stiffen the ride when I tow (not over the weight limits), since they are the cheapest route. I've looking into deavers as well, but there is so many options I'm not sure which is the best route to go long term. I don't like the feeling of a bouncing truck for a few hundred feet after hitting a bump in the road with even a light load.
