Air bags and towing?
[random useless thoughts]
Here's the deal: I have a K20 (5600 pounds) that I want to haul around on a goose neck trailer, but buying a newer 3/4 ton truck can't happen right now. So, time to improvise. I have a coil spring long bed C10 that I could use to tow it. I want to put some air bags on the back instead of coils, a small electric compressor under the hood, and a couple tanks under the bed. I have a couple concerns though. 1. Will the air bags handle the extra weight? 2. How much weight can my 1/2 ton rear axle handle? 3. Will I still have my current ride height or will it sit lower? 4. My truck only weighs 4100 pounds. Is this enough weight to control that much weight behind me? [/random useless thoughts] Opinions? Comments? |
