Well, towing with a 1500 suburban is a good way to kill the "10-bolt" rear axle in it. They really are not that heavy duty for the towing arena; despite all of the commercials that state other wise. Your rear leaf springs are tuned to providing a comfortable ride versus having more of a heavy hauling ride in mind. You can also step up to a stronger 3/4 ton axle & leaf springs. ** 2.) The other thing is to possibly rent a dump trailer that is close to what you are thinking of building. That way you can try it out before you commit to it. Then you can also try pulling it on forwards & backwards before welding anything together. If you find that you like the combination, then you can measure where they set their axles at.........</p></blockquote><p></p>
