and maybe some grease for the bearings

I was looking at trailers the other day ago and was wondering what you two rig guys had. I would need 28' - 32'. is anyone running dual tires or are singles beef enough? what are some better brands? how well do fullwidth axles fit on low boys? I know I had to take my spacers off to fit on our 20'. I want something I can just drive up on and strap down

30', single, dual axle (7Kea)

A fullsize will fit between the fenders.

**bcolman** · 08-25-2009, 06:08 PM

**redcagepatrol** · 08-25-2009, 06:20 PM

Doesn't your truck need DRW in order for you trailer to have DRWs? Legally?

**AggieTJ2007** · 08-25-2009, 08:07 PM

don't think so should look into that

there are tons of threads on this but basically, almost all trailers that have dual tires require a different driver licence and can't legally be pulled by any one ton truck.

it all depends on the rating of the truck (from the door) and the rating that is stamped on the nameplate of the trailer.

I am just barely legal with my truck / trailer combo.

I see a buttload of 1 ton duallies on the daily pulling DRW trailers around Houston.

this doosh at a job i am working on has a new dmax and pulls a tandem dually. he also has his tx dot number on his door, I have noticed this more and more.

yep - and you will see that 95% of them have a TXDOT number on the truck.
