[QUOTE="Kickemup, post: 174850, member: 283"] Get some 10ply for the truck and break controller. Air bags would help. I used to pull a 32' tt with my 02 chevy 1500 with a 5.3. I only had 8 ply the first year and it sucked. The rear tires seamed like they would roll side to side when driving. I also had a 3/4 ton suspension in the back to keep the truck leveled. I would never go any larger than a 28' again with a 1500. The pickup just doesn't weigh enough to safety pull it. I kept my speed around 50 with that setup. Yes these new 1500 pickups can pull 9000lbs. But there breaks can't stop 9000lbs safety. [/QUOTE]
