I could be wrong, but it seems that there are two distinct schools of thought on towing a LBC; to-wit: (1) Driveshaft In, and (2) Driveshaft Out. As each camp seems particularly dedicated to their vi

Kelvin, Nope. I'm not sure, having never tried it. I don't venture opinions on things I've never tried. I don't THINK there's any prob since there's no braking to move the wheels on their splines per

Nah, way too much work. Use chemistry. The hot setup is liberal application of red Locktite and then torque to the standard 500 ft/lbs. Towing it backwards becomes the least of your problems. -- Bob

Absolutely correct. A 4 wheel trailer should be set up so it is dead level when unloaded, then the load should be positioned so about 10% of the combined weight of the trailer and load is on the hitc

Surge brakes are a no-brainer. You hook up the trailer and go. When braking the weight of the trailer shifts forward to compress a master cylinder which applies the breaks. Sounds and works simple bu
