    Take a pic of trailer hooked up to truck so that the trailer isn’t resting on the jack.

    I’d like to see it dropped on the hitch as well.

    That amount of green red oak would destroy a trailer with two 3500lb axles. Surprisingly, it doesn’t show obvious signs of being overloaded.

    The truck has a 5.3 and the hd tow package so its registered class 2. I have airlift bags on it and next time need to fill to max before I leave home. My 12v tire filler wouldn't go past 50psi.....

    850-900 for a lodge that would turn into 6.5 to 8 cord.
