On way to OKC for a side job. Towing work trailer. She is sure thirsty pulling this trailer.

Nice, how heavy is the trailer, and what truck specs do you have? (engine, rear end, etc)

I have the 5.7 without etorque and the 3.21 rear end. The trailer with all the equipment is less than 4k. Not sure on exact weight. I also have the towing package.

That looks pretty well set up, a slight downward angle is ok on the trailer and the coil sprung RAM is expected to squat a bit, which yours does. I still don’t like that a 4K trailer (figuring about 13% tongue weight is less than 600lbs) will drop the truck that much but without some other means (stronger WD hitch bars, changing trailer front weight, getting air bags) it’s going to do just that. These aren’t 2500’s after all.
You sure blacked that out well.
