    yeah that just looks like a hefty fine waiting to happen if you move it on your own, i have a chevy 3500HD (10 lug truck) and the specs say it could pull something like that, but as stated above if the highway patrol see's you, you better have wide load gear and the tags on your truck better be weighted for that load otherwise they will bury you in tickets, at least i know the will in NC, around here the highway patrol loves ****ing with anybody they think is "overloaded", i have had more than my share of roadside inspections, fortunately i keep my paperwork in order, and my trucks set-up, but its still a pain in the rear.

    not sayin you couldn't move it yourself but unless you have the truck for it and the gear to be legal the risk's may not be worth it.



    and this is not my truck but its what i mean by a 3500HD its not a regular 1 ton, it has 10 lug wheels, solid axle front suspension and a frame almost as stiff as a 2-ton truck. and if you look the axle is pushed more to the rear of the truck than a regular pick-up trucks axle is.
