    Pontoon trailer setup

    If you want to improve your suspension, ditch the springs with hooks, get springs with eyes on both ends. The one end will be with a bolt to a fixed spring mount and the other end will go to the equalizer with shackles. This is my travel trailer in which I just replaced all 4 springs yesterday.

    Pontoon trailer setup

    Of course that won't work if the ground your trailer is sitting on is not level. You need to check with the trailer parallel to the ground.

    Pontoon trailer setup

    Drive your trailer to a flat parking lot. It can slope as long as the slope is the same between the front and rear of the trailer. Get the trailer parallel to the ground by measuring at the front of the trailer and the rear and get them to be equal by raising/lowering your tongue. Then you can...

    Pontoon trailer setup

    It will do this if there is more load on the rear axle of the traieler hence the reason its called an equilizer I have been following this thread as well and I totally agree. In an ideal world where both axles have identical weight and each spring deflects equally, the equalizer will be level...

    2023 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    You probably didn't mind the PI call on the Rams Sunday where the Rams player never touched the receiver and the poor spot on the Steeler's QB sneak.

    1988 OMC 3.0 Clunking (May be Thunking) at High Speed

    It's the dog gears that are slipping. They are going to need to be replaced. This is normally caused by the lower shift cable out of adjustment. This is a very expensive repair.

    Omc cobra single shift cable setup?

    Show the pictures of each end of the cable. When these joint ventures came out, they had the Volvo end at the drive side and the OMC end at the control side. If the Control was changed, they it will not have the OMC end anymore.

    Guessing young adult kids text back rather than call?

    You are probably on a cell phone and you are probably on a computer....too late...data on you has already been collected. Get off the internet and don't use a cell phone if you are really worried.....maybe use a BFH on both of them.

    Guessing young adult kids text back rather than call?

    If your car is older than a 2015, you don't need to worry about OnStar...it doesn't work anymore.

    Key Fob cost

    First thing I did when I bought my 2018 F150 was to buy two new fobs and program them myself. Each Fob was around $50

    Guessing young adult kids text back rather than call?

    I text WAY more than I call....easier and faster. I can look back at conversations in case I forgot what we were talking about with text. My 87 year old mom would text me more than she called before she died if she had a quick question for me. I did visit her at least 3 times a week so we did...

    Your hitch rating is 500# deadweight...I would call that overdoing your hitch by a LOT.

    Tire size mismatch question

    Yes...but not in China. They are an excellent tire. They are on my Cobalt trailer! Maxxis makes many tires for many different things. They are my "go to" tire for my mountain bike.

    Tire size mismatch question

    You can buy Maxxis 8008 trailer tires in 13"...probably best trailer tires made! Also, plenty of load range for a 1600# trailer. Absolutely ZERO need to go to 14" tires.
