Thanks to everybody that stopped to help. Way big thanks to gappy. His allergies were making him miserable and he still made sure I was back on the road.

I made it home fine, but the trailer does dog track a bit. I'll have it good as new for pys.

I stopped at the weigh station on the way home. Kinda spendy, but very helpful.

Steer axle = 3260 lb
Drive axle = 4400 lb
Trailer axle = 7780 lb

Gross weight = 15440 lb

Tundra weighs 5610 curb weight
3240 front
2370 rear

5th wheel total weight is supposed to be 8100 with 810 lbs tongue weight

My trailer should weigh about 9830 lbs including close to 3 tons of pig.

So I'm over on the tongue,, but I do have 5000 lb bags in the back. And I'm just about right at gross axle in the rear.

5th wheel is over weight, but not by a lot and total tow capacity is supposed to be 10,200 lbs. I don't know where they got 8100 from.

Total gross weight rating on the tundra is 16000 lbs. so as long as I dont gain too much weight I'm good.

Plenty of chupacabras out there, they'll pick their bones clean before morning.
 
Gum, if ya want some extra beef for axles, " I know a guy". Could make ya a nice set of torsion axles. Hard to go wrong with over kill on the axles. Let me know, I'll hook ya up.

Had a great weekend, it was awesome seeing everybody. Thats the smallest group I've wheel'd with, definitely has it's advantages.

That might be the way to go. Let me know a good set of 5-6k axles run.

You know it will happen. Yammerers must hear themselves yammer. We are too nice.
