Re: 3/4 ton vs 1/2 ton in a burb 4x4
CG, I would convert it back to 3/4 if you are going to pull something pretty stout behind it. Make sure to put some 3/4 springs maybe even 1 ton springs under it to support the load. I would also reinforce a hitch with some crossmembers and such. Not saying a half ton wouldn't do it, but those springs sure help out a bunch for weight, and with half tons they tend to squat really bad with a load. Trevor
