Rob,
Thanks for the info on the web site. been looking in the wrong places. They do work with pole tongue and surge brakes. Just extra parts are necessary. You made my day.

Joe, I understand what you are getting at. There are some ajustments on the brackets to try yet. But before I start to screw around with it, I want to get all the info I can from every source. Like king trailer, Ranger factory and Wefing. So far the best info has come from the C-Brats. If the trailer is too light for the boat, I believe those people should be responsable 1st. If the trailer can handle the actual weight of the boat, maybe just another cross menber is all that needs to be added.

I understand you thinking. In addition to an additional cross-member, additional reinforcing, and extended/raised/adjusted bunks, a third axle would add up to 4,000 lbs. of carrying capacity.
Joe.

| I can not comment on your King Trailer. I went down to Wefings to pick up my R25 on Feb 4. After reading your post I was concerned about this since my order had specified a King trailer. However, Ranger sent a Easy Loader instead. After a week in Florida I drove back to north Alabama (about 400 miles) & the Easy Loader was great. no sway no boat movement. I had previously pulled heaver loads (bobcat) with my F250, 7.3 Diesel, 6 speed manual but not for that distance. |

Bill, On the way to the Keys I used a chain and turn buckle streight down to the trailer, That stopped the bobbing. I am going to get an electric jack for the trailer and than install the hitch. The factory for the hitch said it would solve all my problems.
