[QUOTE="Goldchaser1, post: 385385, member: 9528"] A bit extra towball weight is a good thing,if its a bit over 10% i wouldnt worry,trailer will track better with a bit of weight then if its leaning towards light towbar for its weight,cant see any probs and looks like theyve got it sorted with rear carrier and tank anyway,well balanced. When i built ours nuc,i went overboard really with the whole thing,its bloody heavy,got plans one day to make another,smaller and lighter,i used same size rhs on drawbar,next time ill go 75x50x3 i reckon if i can get away with it. Used landcruiser springs and shocks which was a mistake,way to soft,airbagged it a while ago which was our best solution. If you upgrade the springs and brake it id go for discs,i used a 2500kg-65mm drummed axle,mega strong but it weighs a ton,discs alot lighter and easier to service,lookin foward to seein it all done with rear carrier etc,top stuff [/QUOTE]
