RE: Multiple Tire Blowouts
As others have stated use a good quality American or other trusted tire. I just recently had problems with Michelin ms2 truck tires on my fiver with sidewall cracking at 6 years. I had a none brand tire named Tacoma usa tires that went 8 years no problems and no cracks. I had 10 year old Yokohomas on my truck with no cracks or problems. I now have a bad taste in my mouth about Michelin and will never use them again. I am going to try the Goodyear endurance or the Saliun tires next. My brother has been using the Goodyear endurance for a year now with no problems. Just use a good quality and trusted tire brand.
RE: 5th wheel lifting bracket
I always wondered if you lift your hitch that way what effect does it have on the jaws with that weight hanging from them. When a fifth wheel is on the hitch there is no weight on the jaws because the head is taking the weight. I was just wondering.
RE: Tembren system vs oversprings
I guess that I am the only one to give up my Timbrens. I would hit a bump and they would rebound hard.I made my own stable loads out of 2inch square tube that are mounted on the leaf spring bump stop brackets.My over loads kick in after about a 3/4 inch drop in the suspension and this truck rides like a car with my 3000 lb. pin weight and the truck rides level and smooth,with the addition of my fifth airbourn pinbox it rides very smooth except for the biggest of bumps.
