Nice looking rig! Your trailer def looks like it's sitting more level than mine. Gonna get it the boat nosed up, then try swapping the the wheels and tires then leveling it and go from there!

Vastly improved OEM suspension on whatever year that 6.4L is; 2008-2010. Keep that in mind compared to the OP's 2000 with leaf springs on all 4 corners.

Lol but I love my 7.3L and Rig roads in south Texas are pretty unforgiving on the newer suspension setups, I know it rides like a log wagon, but my only comparison was my bumper pull

I also think that the neck of the trailer looks a little flimsy for that size and weight of trailer. I would want to add some bracing to it at a minimum there is a lot of flex that can happen there.

I know. I love my 7.3L dually too. It may get air-ride one day.
It rides better than my Dodge 2500 with factory Dana 60 axles, slight lift, and 33" tires. THAT rides like a brick truck. Hopefully, it will be sold by lunchtime today.
