I'm trying to get back to setting up my trailer. My friend who was helping me passed away so I don't have any knowledgeable source to ask anymore so I was hoping to get some input here?
Are the "horrible freight" ratchet straps ok? if not where do I need to get them and I want good stuff.
What size (strength) and how many? and what tie-down configuration? Crossed?, suspension and frame or suspension only.
The pics are the trailer and van hooked up (trailer riding a little high-empty) and I'm hoping when I load the bronco the trailer "sits' level?
How far up on the trailer should the bronco go? I need to find the "sweet"spot so when I load I can hit the same stopping spot every time. (the distance from the front edge of the trailer deck to the front wheels) is what I'm after.
Bronco has no top and no large tires so I'm hoping the e weight is under 4200lbs?
The e-250 superduty weighs around 5400lbs empty. (verfied weight at the landfill scales). I may take the bronco throw some trash in it and go to the landfill and weigh it the same way. I can't find any other way to weigh anything around here.
Its a 16ft heavy duty trailer and supposed to weigh 2200lbs. There is a pic with the trailer specs.
If you have pics of your bronco strapped down, trailer-ed that would help.
thanks
