Its not 100% done yet I still have to beef up the mounts to the truck ( hence why there are jack stands in the one pic) but I'm thrilled how it turned out. It can hold a max of 1300 lbs and is with in the legal length. Let me know what you guys think.

 

looks good....can u load it on your trailer with the weights on?

 

have not tried. I'm gonna un load the weights to haul it. It will be a pain but its better than somehow throwing a weight off the trailer into another car

 

yeah mine are actually bolted to the rack then i've got a stand that sits under them and i strap the truck down and it takes the weight off of the rack and we made sure mine would load without taking them off because taking 1600lbs off and on 2-3 times a week would get old quick...we havnt got to make as many pulls this year as we planned but it looks like we will be pulling into mid nov so still some season left

 

you can hang 1600lbs? you must have really put that truck on a diet

 

yeah i'm hangin 1600lbs then the rack alone weighs atleast 100lbs its all heavy wall 3" square tubing then im 190lbs...i have a 8gl fuel tank on the front and all 3 seats the dash and the headliner and all the interior plastic pieces it comes in at 7600lbs without the tailgate my wheels are only 14lbs each i think. After this winter it will be 8000lbs even, the 205 tcase is atleast 100lbs more then the 241 then i've got a cast iron tail housing for the nv4500 which will add some and then the new driveshafts will be heavier

you can do so much more to a truck that only has to go on and off a trailer and 310ft at a time

 

You are lucky my 07.5 reg cab dually weighs 7980 without weights. I have a ball hitch in the box and 5th wheel plates, ladder bars, a boss pro v mount and aweight bracket with no weights.

 

they dont allow weights for our 2.6 trucks in our club. i will go to some that do this fall. that is a good job you done on your weight bar.

 

yeah that's like my buddys 06 mega dually he pulls with....he gets to run like 150 lbs on the front....biiiiiig truck little weights, its funny
