So, i called cruiserrv which makes the stryker th that im looking at. They said the inside lenght is 28' which is the same as the TH that I was hauling in my album, but MUCH less pin weight. This might work as long as theirs no hurricanes out there. Throw some shocks , coils and tires on and presto! Just saved about 100-200 month in truck payment!

I'm curious what's the deal with the TH in your album? Is it just to much for the truck?

I think the tongue weight was too much (over 1200lbs) which is typical of TH's until you counter it with some toys in the back.

What nycruiser said. It was1300(just the trailer) so when iadded any passengers iwas over. It pulled it fine though.had some squat (of course). I tried airlift bags.they leaked for Me. then itried timbren which worked but they didn't feel as good as the bags.still have the timbrens. Might as well just leave them there. Sold that thing over fall. Worst thing was a little porpoising action and idid over1000 miles summertime

Gotcha then I'm sure you'll be fine with 800 tounge weight. That leaves you with just over 500lbs load plus when you load up your toys I bet your tounge weight will decrease some.
