I hadn't thought of it that way, maybe I'll call it something else. :lol:

After looking through all 16 pages, I finally found this in a pm from Andrew...

Angib wrote:Looking at the Durango tow ratings (3750-8950), it will be designed to take a static hitch weight of over 1,000lb, so unless you build your trailer body with lead insulation, you shouldn't have a problem. If you move the axles far enough back that the hitch weight gets high, it might make you want to fit helper springs or air bags to the Durango, just to keep it from riding nose-up.

I think I should be ok.
