I think you'd be better off buying another truck just to tow the fifth wheel, preferably a dually. What is the weight rating of those wheels and tires?
The toyos are rated "E", around 3800pds per tire, they are pricey, but well worth it.
I've already flipped the axles on the trailer, so its even with the lift on the truck.


Has anyone had to rebuild their tranny with billet torque converters or built up their tranny so that its bullet proof?
Want to do it the right way, since its custom wheels, tires, lift and so is the trailer, once the gears are done, I just need to make sure the tranny will hold.

Thanks
