single the trailer with 17.5s
10k or 12k axles?
250 * 83 is 20750lbs hope you are putting at least 6,000 of that on the pin.. most likely over loading 10k axles.

I had to load the truck axle light when I saw my inner dual flat on the lb7. The entire time I'm thinkin isn't this why we got the lml so this old truck didn't have to do this. Old turd is a pulling monster though
Axles are 12k the trailer really is only used for pipe for fence the skid steer or our big Deere with the bat wing hogg. Only does hay for 3-4 months out of the year
I have thought of going singles like our 50' trailer
New tires for the lb7 this week. Just trying to decide in tread and brand. I run chains in the winter but the old 2 wheeler needs all the help it can get
Inside pass dual decided to fly off today, fender survived just runnin on my out dual for a couple days

my LMM has transforce on it when i got it.. with 10 of 15/32s tread left. course the PO swapped to 235/85/16 and left the spare 215/85/16
i can pick up cooper AT3 cheaper then the transforce.. plus i like the tread pattern better.

Thanks Adam. I have had Awsome luck with hankook tires I hate Goodyear with a passion I will look into the coopers.
Our lml came with Awsome Michelin commercial tires very heavy duty huge tread depth but not aggressive at all

i tired michelin with my 02 didnt like them at all. stupid expensive and didnt last very long
they are made about 2-3 hours from my house (findlay oh) most likely why i can get them cheap
ordered 6 AT3's today gettin them on tomorrow did all ball joints tie rods, stabilize shock, brakes checked bearing. For that many miles the old truck is still lookin good.
Adam I hold you personally responcible for my wallet being 1200 bucks lighter. I went with 235's for their 3100 pound rateing. Good looking tire for sure, I got stuck an asphault inlcine today in the rain, the old carp ass goodyears couldnt do it, had to back down, that was with a 7000+ pound pin weight. Traffic looved me

hey we are good at spending other peoples moneis :roflmao:
BTW got any pics
got 4 mudd hogs on the trailer here 11,400lb
That pic makes ur pin height look low? Is it set that way? I typically set pin high so when suspension sags the trailer is level.
I will get Pics tomorrow when it gets back from the shoe store

i'm parked facing down hill.. hence why the front axle looks "squated" and the back doesnt.. and the crest of the hill is the 2nd yellow line forward from the front trailer axle
6,000lbs squats the lmm about 5-6".. its a bitch to keep the trailer "level".
Got yah, I saw the axle canted down to the front and thought the truck was overly squared or pin was set shallow.
5-6" squat for 6k seems prett excessive to me. How big of a spring pack does it have? The lb7 is stiffer than the lml but when the loads get over 20k the stability in the lml is amazing makes the lb7 feel 50 years old

i have a 6+1 spring pack on this truck, found some 08 C&C springs that are 6+3
5-6" squat actually levels the truck out.. the truck squats ~3" just with the empty trailer pin ~1600lbs and still 1.5" off the secondary springs.. the biggest tell tale is the bed rail lines compared to the GN neck lines
this is 10,500lb of RAW or roughly 7500lb pin or 26,000lb of steel on me
