This pic is with 6 tons of gravel and I did pull this about 5 miles, truck did very well. Thank God for great trailer brakes and airbags.

I have airlift 1000s. I don't know how much weight but I know the trailer itself is 2 ton and from the other times I towed, I'm guessing around 7 tons of dirt and stone. This was offroad only.

Your pics didn't load for some reason yesterday, but I got them tonight. Your truck looks good, thanks. Keep us posted on the performance of this product. This looks like it will be my next mod, later this summer.
I went to 10 ply mt's on 17's from the stock 20's and it didn't affect anything except fuel mileage. Sidewalls are bigger but stiffer. I like the 17's, they are alot better when hauling a trailer.
My company used to pay for all of our trucks to be painted that exact color back in the 80's. They said it was the most unlikely colored vehicle to get struck by another vehicle. Everyone thought it was ugly back then, I think it looks great on these new Mopars.
I live in WV and I know that almost everyone around here says that it's a truck with a 200 k mile motor and tranny with a 50 k mile body. I think you would be safe. Just make sure your body man does it right and removes the rust, or you will be back in the following year.
When I was on a road trip in VA I averaged over 25 on the screen, when I checked it manually it was right up against 24. That's the best I have had. I average over 20 for the first 6000 miles though.:cool: it makes me happy that a truck with this much power can get this kind of gas mileage.
You should go for it. Check to see if your friends are pulling in low or high and if they are locking it into a certain gear. I saw a guy with a v6 do better than v8s a few years ago. He wasnt fast, but his gearing just seemed perfect for the sled. Good luck and let us know how you do.
Your first coat is the one you want to go thin on. After that you can put them on heavy. Remember that this isn't normal paint, its thick and won't run as easy. Test it on something and see how thick you can get it.
I feel that as long as you take your time and keep your following distance, you should be fine. I towed An estimated 10k+ pound trailer and the only problem I had was taking off on hills, it was raining. I had to put it in 4x4 to keep from spinning. Good luck.
