What bags are you running? im getting ready to get parts togther to bag my f350. since i use it to pull our bus and now looking at 4 car hauler to pull the green dually and the bus i need it strong. on the green dually i was running firestone sleeves F2107's on it and towed. im thinking of running them again over the axle or the conti tripple stack 2800LB bags any one run the tripple stacks? What are you running and towing with? right now trailer and bus are around 18,000 Lbs and lokking to go up to 21-25,000 lbs

I had firestone 3000 on the back of mine and it handles a gooseneck just fine.

I am using some contitech that they use on the tag axle of a concrete truck they are quarter inch ports. They will pull anything you want to pull with them they cost me 132.00 ea.

i have re 8's on mine all the way around and it tows fine and my bags are on the axle, but for that big of a pull i would defianlty go over the axle and you there no real need for the triple stack IMO

for that much weight, i would consider the triple stack. it would take less air in them to get higher lift. less air=softer ride at ride height. just my $0.02

granted that is true but just how much lift are you gonna want to have no sense in jacking it 18 inches in the air to drive when you can get 8-10 inches and still have good ride.. i had firestone 2800 on my last dually over the axled and pulled a 20 ft dovetail with a fullsize chevy on baord and it rode like a champ

it is not about the amount of lift. i simply said less air to accomplish a good enough lift would be a softer ride.

thanks guys but im looking at bigger bags due to weight 20ft trailer and truck is like 8000lbs im going to be pulling 3 times that thats what im worried about. and last im wanting alot of lift to due to my dad wont bag his truck yet im working on him but his is a stock heigth 05 chevy dually. his truck is already 2" taller than my ford stock so i need to be able to be back up to stock heigth or so to tow so im not having to change the neck on the trailer all the time. im not going to lay frame in the truck cuz i dont want to cut the truck up and im running 24"s on it . my other optin i was thinking of is building a 3-5" rasied frame section over the axle like it was notched and mounting my goose neck up higher so i dont have to get as high
