I use a GEN-Y rated at 21,000 2.5" shank various drops available. Mine is also a combo for a couple sizes + pintle!!!!!! It was just under 400 but worth every dime if you pull multiple types of trailers. You can vary the drop and size/style

I would also strongly consider heat shrink wrapping the unit. I see helicopters transported like this often. Erickson Air Crane sends sky cranes down under for fire season in the Winter

Oshkosk / Pierce are producing some fire equipment on the chassis

I am also interested in seeing the frame extension. I need to add 19" to mine

I am wondering if the air governor is frozen too.

Wow! Made it through all 85 pages! Good reading. Starting up building my M1088A1 I may start a thread. It will be a long build

Anyone have a source for tire chains? All my local tire shop could do was point me to Skidder chains at $750 each
