Just a thought here...last year we put new Carlise on the pup....by the time we got to Fairbanks, Ak , 10k miles they were shot
Our only choice was the Tow Master.....only lasted 7k miles now the Dexter axle had a problem.... when we weighed the pup it was 400# under the GVWR.... about 600# below the axle rating. In both cases the tires were balanced and wheel bearings correctly adjusted. These were D load range 13 inch tires at 1720# rating in both cases.
