Spoke to Daniel at High End yesterday he has a 3 - 4 car hauler 46 FT long goose neck he needs some help bringing to his shop. He said if I helped get it there and fix it I could use it when I needed. I'm not sure its something I'll be comfortable using but I'll go help him get it and see what its about. It has a busted tire and spindle so if I can get the tire off I should be able to move it to his shop :meh:
 
how far does it need to go to get to his shop and how many axles? A goose that big I would have to think 3 or four times about hooking up to when loaded with anything less than a 3500 dually, Probably weighs 2-3 tons empty.

I think it has 2 axles and that's what I'm thinking too it maybe to heavy for a 3/4 but will look at it just in case.

Need shocks on the Mega Cab any experience to share? I want something to handle the towing abuse but also ride somewhat decent if there is such a thing on a 3/4 ton truck.

X2 My buddy has your same truck Larry and he loves the Bilstein upgrades. I think they are the best shocks for any truck, Land Cruisers included (I have a few).
 
Thanks gents, is that the 5100 series? I was looking at them today. I like the bags too Paul, Ryan had them on his and he said they were great when towing the big boats. Will see after a few trips and maybe add the bags later would like to add a leveling kit for the front as well at some point not a need right now.
 
interesting fact: 1500 megacabs are actually built on the 2500/3500 frame. they are 8 lug trucks.

Advanced had a 25% discount thing going with the promo code you gave me SHOX saved about $88 so bought from them. Was just about the same as I could get on the net even with the tax.

Went with the KYB monomax I had read a bit about them and had some great reviews for towing and hauling applications. I think the 5100 is an awesome shock but questioned it for the heavy hauling duties.

The new towbeast. Wish I had another week to work on this and the 4runner. Truck is mechanically tight but the interior is rough. Drove it enough that I trust it and it gets an honest 13mpg as it sits.

Best part is it has no note.

Now i just need to find a slide in camper.

1996 3500 Chevy dually with a diesel or a 454?
Is there a goose neck ball in the bed? Probably not if you are looking for a camper.
