THANKS

really thats it? what kinds of stuff are yall pulling i know it sort of depends on that.... but if its like a utilitly trailer or even a car trailer idk how thats working for you because I would think that trailer would be loser in the back because of the higher reciver hight? or are you using that 5 1/4 and getting a level trailer with the truck? if so what are you pulling
