I have no intention of ever loading the trailer that heavy again!

It needs a third axle if I were to do that.

WOW on a bumper hitch no less. Isn't the reciever on the truck rated at like 10,000 max? I pull a triple axle gooseneck some with that much or more on it but it fairly flat around here. If you had hit someone with that weight I'm not sure your insurance would have been any good.

Around 23,000 on four tires, that's almost 6000 a tire, even my 16 ply 17.5 tires aren't rated that high. Heck, 31000 on 8 tires is almost 4000 a tire if it's balanced. Lucky you made it!
