Thank you Motor 31. The rear axle (RAGWR) is 9300 lbs on the 2011 Chevy 3500 DRW. I am planning on the pin weight being about 4300 lbs, and the hitch to be 300 lbs. Not sure how to figure the weight of the actual truck on that rear axle, or if I need to.

TheView,

Was glad to hear your opinion, and that you think the truck will be enough. I knew you went to a BIG truck! :) The 2011's are really strong, and so it is heartening that you had no trouble on previous models.

I think we are just about set then on the truck/trailer combo. My only remaining concern is the bed of the Chevy being too high? or was it too low, lol! At any rate, getting it level. Any advice there, and we are good to go.

Thank you again!
