I didnt have enough time to.
Id guess roughly 5100# truck, 1800# trailer, 5800# tahoe. 12,700 gross.
Nice to have boost tho, didnt have to down shift on any hills on the way home. 3-4# boost with a lil meth and decent timing at 2000rpms and she chugged on along.

Gotta work this weekend so ill start on it tuesday or so. Give me a lil time to save up a few dollas.
Tires on it are bout gone, so i gotta get some more them soon.

Anybody know of 16s will fit the tahoes?

Yep sure do. Makes it ride like a cadillac. I put 75# air in them and got the tahoe on there till it leveled out the truck. Truck and traile are both pretty level to the ground, they pull the best like that.


Oh and i did a brake check ( no trailer brakes) on a off ramp. Oh boy, all 4 slid and started goin off in the other lane. It rained here today and the roads were still a lil damp.
Then mashed on it and started gettin squirrely. Boost is fun!!
