Hey, all! I have a rather small TT (single axle...maybe max 4500# wet weight, maybe max 660# TW (haven't hit the scales yet) w/WDH towed behind a 2010 Ram 1500 5.7 (3.92) The dealer set me up (poorly, I might add!) with a Curt 17500 rated at 10,000# and 800-1000# TW !!
Etrailer's advice is to buy a whole new WDH with the proper TW rating! (I plan on purchasing a heavier trailer in 2 years) but I'm wondering:
1. How much of an issue is this? What sorts of issues will it cause to have too stiff spring bars?
2. How to minimize any potential issues?
3. Can I just buy "softer" bars?
BTW...while removing the nylock nuts, one seized up and rounded. I'm going to cut it off. What specs would these nuts and bolts need to be, aftermarket? 1-1/8" dia. The torque spec is 200 ft. lbs.
