I have an 08 2500 LMM. I have 22x11 inch rims wrapped with 305/45 Nitto 420S. Both rims and tires are rated for 2910 pounds. Suspension is stock. I am about to purchase a boat (hopefully) here in the close future. The boat will weigh approx. 10,000 pounds and the trailer will most likely have triple axles. I am hoping that this combination will be no problem, but im not sure. Can you all help me out? Is it possible with the set up I have? If so, what would be the cons in doing so? If any, pros? I would really appreciate your help. By the way I will be doing in town and highway towing. Thanks a bunch.

My boss at work has a large boat and with the boat on the trailer they are balanced verv well not to much tongue weight you should be fine.

i run a lawn service and tow daily,if u get the dual or triple axle no worries.

You should have no problem. If the trailer is ment for that boat it should balanced pretty good.

shouldn't have a problem my buddy has 22's and hauls a dual axle car trailer loaded all the time no problems

you will be fine with the trailer and boat, it is the crap you put in the front of the boat, and the bed that will cause you to have problems. 1000# tongue weight, and coolers / water toys in the bed, and passengers up front you are going to be close. Put the extra stuff over the trailer axles ans the weight won't be on the truck.

RAW Empty ~ 3,150 lb. Add 1,000 lb tongue weight ~ 1,600 lb to the rear axle. That puts you at 4,750 with a full tank of gas and regular accessories. You can either put 1,000 lb of stuff in the bed, or close to the axles of the trailer in/on the boat.

Just make sure that your pressures are where they need to be in your tires before you get on the highway, and you'll be in good shape.

I really appreciate all the help everyone. now i feel better knowing i should be good. thanks a lot...

Yep these guys are right on. I have toyo's that are rated for 2910 lbs. this summer we used the LMM to pull our fifth wheel with the same ideas that these guys wrote above. I'm not going to lie though it had to be very close on all of the weight ratings. I left some things out that I normally take and I payed very close attention to how I situated everything for the haul. I then had to let Joy pull the trailer with this setup :eek:

My :Moon: was puckered for the first leg of the trip!!! I sat there staring in the sideview mirror looking at the rear tires :D What I was going to see I couldn't tell ya :rolleyes:, but it made me feel better to keep my eye on them. Meanwhile she's just cruising along doing 70mph and I'm in the passenger seat $hittin' bricks LOL! I would pay good money to be able to see the expression on my face for that trip!

Went a bit off track here, but for my .02 I think you'll be fine.

edit: Actually the avatar pic I've been using for quite some time is a pic of the LMM at the dunes after pulling the gearbox out onto the sand. The tires performed much better than I expected.

Thanks a bunch i appreciate it. kinda good to know im not the only one sweatin this.

For the record a goose / 5er puts weight over the rear axle, a bumper pull cantilevers the weight past the axle. The actual weight, plus a fraction of the actual weight (whatever is needed to balance it over the rear axle) is shifted off the front axle to the rear axle. Weight distributing systems shift this weight back to the front axle, reducing the weight on the rear axle.
