    Your max weight loaded on the trailer is at most, what 8,000 pounds?



    This is on a trailer with what I will assume has one set of trailer brakes. It should stop just fine for that weight.

    Get new springs, and if that doesnt help (it will) try air bags.

    And I have never seen anyone replace LEAF SRINGS with COILOVERS for better load capacity. If you ran true coil overs one the rear of your truck you would have too weld mounts, probley in side the bed just too make them work.

    Not trying too sound like a ****. But I will assume its coming off that way but I will assume the "diesel boys" will have much too say.
