Location: Alberta Canada | I pull a 3 horse Exiss w 24 ft floor, 8 ft wide with 10 ft short wall, with a 2001 dodge 2500 with a diesel engine. I have a b&w hitch and had to buy their hitch extender, and had to but a new behind cab tool box, that is now at box height. I still have to watch carefullyl when I back up, but other than that, good to go . I am planning to put air bags on truck this spring, thou not entirely necessary. Also box is 6.5 ft.

Location: western PA | A hitch extender is just about mandatory. A trailer with a "V" shaped nose is a great help. Be careful pulling a trailer with a flat nose, as you might have an interference problem during sharp corners with the cab corners. |

Location: Vanzant, Missouri | I pull with a short bed and I have the SB1 extension hitch and I tow a 3h w/8ft LQ. No problems at all..it sets it back 9 inches I think and it makes a world of difference.Worth the money. |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | An old thread... http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/forum/thread-view.asp?threadid=8927&MessageID=78637 I use this SB1 on my trailers and tow with long bed trucks... Gives some extra room between the tailgate, hydraulic jack, spare tire, batteries, etc... http://horsetrailerworld.com/home/contribute/homepage/popup/popup.asp |
