How close to tow ratings do you dare go?

Nice. Looks like it stays under 102"

I figured the tongue would bottom out as long as that cutter is.

Not that I have enough tractor for it, but I have always tried to avoid pull-type and batwing cutters for towability. Which is why I stick with an 8' twin

Just pulled it on. Very uneventful. I'm going to try backing it on next time to see if it'll pull some weight off the truck and load the axles a little more.

I haven't put a tape on it but here's a better picture to show the width

Looks like she'd love some rear axle air bags

Looks lil she'd love son rear axle air bags

Ehh maybe. I'll try backing the shredder on first. I've had airbags on just about all other trucks and don't want to mess with them this time. Truck rode fine

I was concerned about it hitting also but when the ram is extended it really lifts it up in the air. It helps the trailer is a low profile too

Uh-OH!
If yours is long in the tooth..my 99 F350 4x4 7.3L 2xx,xxx miles must be toothless!

2xx,xxx miles in FL is much different than 2xx,xxx miles in the salty north...

Salt alone is different! No argument there. I specifically avoided salted vehicles when I was looking for my truck. I've seen plenty of northern trucks with the lower 6" of the door panels gone, and leaf springs that look like pirates swords in sunken ships..
