You are making me miss my Z...

Hoser,

Thanks for answering the AHC question, I was going to ask what set-up you are running too. Looks great!

I made sure not to add up the weight but I made 275 miles. Did fine but I was sure to take the turns slowly. I may have made a mistake when I told Uhaul that I was towing a Camry.

mmm.... you did read the threads about the double totaling with a U-Haul trailer, I hope...?

Maybe something like this could work. Or perhaps a second set of shackle mounts.

That would work but I don't weld or have access to a welder... I think I found the ideal solution, some bolt on D-Rings.

Update,

I towed about 4500 pounds over the weekend with the slee rear bumper. I have no concerns with doing this again in the future. Installed break controller and the 100 towed like a dream. Very happy. Thanks for all of your advice. Buy the way, I hooked up the tow chains around the rear frame under the truck.
