My dilemma is that my tires are now 5/8" inboard from what they were originally. This leaves me with 2 7/8" wheel travel between the sidewall and the top lip (inner) of the fender. I have torsion axles (3) and I don't know if 2 7/8" is enough wheel travel.

It's my understanding you pay Google they hold the money and they pay the seller upon inspection and your OK. You have 7 days to inspect the vehicle and back out of the transaction. Does this sound right? Anyone have any experience with this? If so is this how it works and is it a safe way to purchase a vehicle?

Just picked up my new/used boat yesterday.the trailer has a Brakerite EOH and Tekonsha controller in truck. When I left for the trip back home there was about a 2 second delay in brake force and I had to have the controller timing turned all the way up and output all the way up. At the end of my 450 mile trip, the delay was like 8 seconds!!! once they started to work if you repeatedly hit the brake pedal there would be no delay. only once you let off the brake for about 10 seconds the delay would come right back. the pump would work instantly but no brake pressure. It also had a delay on the sellers truck so it seemed to be normal at the time i left. I'm new to eoh but not to the brake world. any ideas? thanks

I've already searched and found the Putnam Class V hitch upgrade becuase the original equipment is maxed out and the upgrade is cheap insurance.

The van tows the boat great but the location of the hitch makes for a nose down tow. I need to go up at least 12" to get close to level.

Does anyone know the tongue weight of my trailer/boat approx. and how will an inverted dropbar effect the hitch and tongue weight capacity.

I would buy used and diesel. I'm thinking something like an 02-07 F350 4X4 or maybe a dodge with a cummins. Any advantage to single vs dually in the snow? Any years to avoid or to look for?

I have my truck in Florida and don't know if you can you put snow/work tires on a 350 or a dodge? I would think with street tires and no weight in the bed that traction would be an issue. With snow tires, salt in the bed, a plow on the front and a spreader on the rear, a dually might be ok in the snow??

If I decide to go this route, it is imperative that the setup work or I will have 300 plus customers pist twice a day. Anyone have any suggestions/opinions/experience? I appreciate any & all help.

Thanks
