I also attempted to pick up a free old office trailer, approx 25', maybe 2,000 lbs... it had a pintle on it, so I went out and bought myself a pintle hitch... the axle on the trailer is all the way in the back, though. As it turns out, my truck can't handle the entire trailer's weight being on the tongue. I dragged the trailer's jack about 40 feet down the road before deciding to wait it out and install either extra springs, or a heavier pack altogether.

Since I have 3 parts trucks, I may just build a pack with a few extra leaves. However, I do have access to 1T, 1.5T, and 2T spring packs that will fit my truck for $40 a side. Might be something to look into, since I don't really care about how my truck rides.
