trouble towing

The ball is placed in front of the axle so that should be okay. I can't get the bolts unscrewed on the neck to drop it so will have that done this week. I'm going to drop the neck about 2-3" and see if that in combination with the Timbren's will do the trick. The trailer is definately heavier than my other one and over the axle rather than on the bumper.

My tires were underinflated so I fixed that and didn't feel as much bounce but the drag from the trailer is pretty bad so hopefully with the two things I'm going to do above it will make it better. I may need shocks too but I'll check into that this coming week as well.

Truck goes into the diesel shop for a look over and fix that stupid slip yoke issue that has been annoying me for the past year. The towing MPG on this truck is in the toilet - I'm probably getting arount 7-8 mpg and with a 28 gal tank you can imagine I wouldn't get very far. I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake upgrading to a GN.
