kelleyperformance Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 well since im gunna start taking the truck to the track alot, and its kinda tempormental when being launched hard. so i bought an anderson 18' solid steel deck hauler. problem is, the car BARELY fits; but mainly, it has 3200lb axles. the suspension is fully compressed. so anything over 40 mph the trailer goes out of control and nearly pulls the towing vehicle off the road. what do you use/recomend?

brobradh77 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Honestly i'd drive it to the track and if it breaks have it towed home??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerJJ Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have a custum built trailer that is built like a tank. The truck barely fits but the suspension holds up well and attached to my 1991 Coachman Motor Home (Ford 460), it tows like a dream. I hardly even know it's back there.

thomp62301 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Right now i use a company vehicle which is a 2007 GMC 2500HD with a 24' 14000 GVW Trailer. It's not ideal, it's alittle too high but it does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I usually do the towing with the SSS I tow a tandem axle 5k lb. travel trailer in the summer with the SS. I use a Husky round bar weight distributing hitch with sway control...the SS hardly knows it's back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioshop Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Sounds like your trailer is out of balance. Fish tailing is usually caused by too much weight in the back and not enough tongue weight. Are you backing the truck onto the trailer? Can you adjust the axles back and forth? You may want to put the whole shooting match on a truck scale and make sure you're not overweight. I might also think about helper springs. There's also a sway damper you can buy.
