Hi Folks,
I usually answer questions ,but this time I have a question . I don't know if I'm in the right place ,but here goes . I have a car trailer that my son and and I built it is a little on the heavy side . It is made with 4" channel side rails with 6 ,3" channel cross rails and 2 , 6" X 10' in a V shape to the couping the tongue about 42" past the front of the trailer is under the trailer and is fasten to the side rails . It has 14.5 " wheels and and I goofed on the springs and ordered 3500 lb thinking that was for a pair not each.
Now here is my problem ,when we tow this with my son's 96 1500 short bed Z71 pickup it tows smooth and tracks as straight as an arrow empty or loaded .
But when I tow it with 06 1500 2wd it will oscillate so bad that you have to tow at 70mph or better 35 mph , but it tracks fine .
I have the same Reese hitch as the 96 truck and trailer is at the same tongue height it also will buck when loaded but within reason
Any help would be great . thanks Justold
