If it were me, I would take the wheels off of the front two axles and put them in the bed of the truck.
Looks good Mike! |

Your tires are probably rated for 80psi and are rated for +- 3000 lbs at that PSI. Your empty trailer probably weighs 3000 lbs on the axles at most, or about 500 lbs per tire. You can likely get by with 20-25 psi and have plenty of air volume to carry the load, not get hot, not bounce your trailer and truck, not tear up things, and actually track better. Be sure to air back up before loading the boat. Do the same with the rear tires on the truck. |
Just put your wife on your lap, and let the fun begin!

^^^^ +1 but im a tire guy also,,run a minimum of 35 psi or your trailer will end up like a ford explorer..

Amazing trailer, what brand axles do manning use?
|
I'd also be sure to hit plenty of car washes as the shixxx salt roads will eat up everything it touches. Are you going to dip it or are they lifting it out for you? Looks great buddy.
|
I'll dip it. Once in, once out. That'll probably be the exent of salt water it'll see in its life with me.
|
Looks great Mike. Manning built mine almost just like that one but with drive guards to extend it. You will love it great guy to work with.
|
Looks great, I love mine don't remember it bouncing coming back from Michigan but mine is only a tandem.

Can you ask them what vender supply the center caps for the wheels. They are 7000 lb axles because you got 8 lugs on them. I have been looking for that kind for over a year now with no luck. Search the Internet with no luck,even check Summit's racing site. They are 5 1/4 in diameter.
My Eagle has the same wheels and center caps. Inside of my wheels have casting; MFG by MS. No luck doing a search though. The eagle website list 5.15" dia SS center caps in both open and closed ends. No pics. |
