I think I'm doing correctly.... 2 3,300 work load (10,000 lb break) straps. 7K gross trailer, 2500 truck.

I’d probably pull that with 1 or 2 straps. It looks fine to me.

How is the fuel mileage ? Or lack of ?

Around 12 empty. I've not done a long drive with the Kubota or anything, but I'd expect 8 to 10 towing light like that or 7 towing the 8000 lb travel trailer.

Oh, first dent today! Right rear corner of rear bumper. I jackknifed my utility trailer spare tire into it

Off topic... But looking under my new RAM 2500 6.4L gasser today I saw something freakish....? A third shock absorber mounted horizontally to the top of the differential casting and reaching forward to a bracket. Like a shock for axle wrap... But I have a 5 link rear suspension with coils, not leaf springs. Leaf springs can see axle wrap and pinion kick under load. A linked suspension can't.

So tell me what in the world is this thing doing under my truck other than looking pretty?
