Re: Aux springs

It'll pull it, as long as your towing set up is safe and able to handle the weight. Look at how many people to this day overload the crap out of these things until they're on bump stops and just keep on cruising. Drive safe and just do it...

Re: Aux springs

It will pull it, my Dad's truck(which I still have) was a '68, 307 PG, 3.73 short bed and we pulled a trailer full of hogs all the time with no problem. You will see it in my user info

slomotion is correct, give plenty of room to slow down

Re: Aux springs

The "going" isn't much of a problem, but leave plenty of room for the "slowing"
