A little bit of advise, get 100 feet of corrugated drain pipe and stick it inside the water tank, it will stop water sloshing and help prevent the tank from getting lose as well. It will also help your brakes. I put 100 feet of the corrugated drain pipe in mine and man what a difference !!!
This is a similar reason to why bulk tanker trucks have internal baffles inside the tanks.A little bit of advise, get 100 feet of corrugated drain pipe and stick it inside the water tank, it will stop water sloshing
Yes ! lol .... the tankers can also have separate bulkheads that are also baffled ....This is a similar reason to why bulk tanker trucks have internal baffles inside the tanks.
If it were me, I would head to the scales to find what the trailer weights and then find the tongue weight to see if it follows the 10 to 12 percent rule. If needed, I would rearrange the trailer loads to get the correct tongue weight.I think I should carry less water,
What can I do to help this?
The weight needs to be redistributed on the trailer, with that 1500 lbs in front of the axle, your tongue % is through the roof. You probably need a trailer with more capacity (GVWR).525 gallon tank, there about 300 gallons of water in the pic. The pressure washers / water heaters (stainless steel) are towards the front at 750lbs each and there’s two..
He'll most likely need a WDH with air bags(or heavier springs) for the weight. Probably a good idea to go with an XL Load or better rated tires.I would personally avoid airbags since they don't redistribute weight back to your front axle.
I'll try these TTC 1211 rear springs, Do you think its a harsh ride? I don't mind a little firmer, in fact probably prefer it. there a discount code at TTP for ram forum?Might want to just go with the Tufftruck 1211 rear springs - though they will stiffen up the ride just a little when empty.
