Thanks for the info; I will hafta check them out, and see if they have the 6 lug to 8 lug adapters, provided the rear holds while I get my turbo tahoe going; 1 project at a time!

I have once towed around 9500 pounds because i was in a bind, but the wheelbase is waaaay too short for that. Loaded that best balance i could get it still felt very unstable at 60mph. But now, usually tow around 6k with it.

I towed with my tahoe. had rear coil spacers and air bags and the tahoe was heavy by itself. I did wheel bearings at 160,000 miles and everything was still tight and solid on the adapters.
Front end didnt have near the weight it normally would while towing.
