Default more changes...

well after throwing new tires and wheels on muh junk...

I found out that it changed life for the trailer's tongue height.

so... I tried leveling the trailer to the truck with a 5 1/4" drop hitch...
and after looking at that a bit... decided I didn't like that so much.

Sooo... I decided to invert the Max C and see where that put me.

Is fairly close... but a little tongue high still
as the trailer is slightly canted to the rear...
but I think when I'm loaded up fully... things will settle a 'Lil at the tongue.

This again is probably only temporary...
as I'm thinking about upgrading the tires on the trailer to the 7.50 MT's

^ thinking those will give me the ride height needed
to better match up to the 295 Kooks I recently mounted to muh junk.
(I'm ignoring the spring over/axle swap mods at this point)

Anyway... anyone else running their Max Coupler inverted ?


I realize it leaves the Max C a little vulnerable...
But I'll weld a tail dragger off the hitch... so that will hit first...
and maybe save the Max C from certain death.


~I'd sure feel better if that upper nut were pinned or safety wired~
