I'd say the trailer was a little nose heavy since the frame is resting on the bump stops. Decided not to transport and will wait for my buddy's F350. :cool:

This is why a Lightning will ALWAYS be better than an SRT-10.....:rll:

That, or back it on the trailer, with the heaviest portion of it behind the axles... :rolleyes:

I think the ramps are built in to the trailer so they have to tilt up and unfortunately, the truck is as far back as it can go with the ramps in place. I think the Bronco front transaxle is really heavy and is more than the Roush springs can handle. But the load is really unbalanced toward the nose. Even a standard Lightning suspension would be challenged to haul this load. :cool:

You probably don't realize how hard it was to get it on the trailer without the motor running. Think I'll just borrow my neighbors F-250. :cool:

If you have to use the L make sure the e-brakes are working. I recently hauled about 5k on a trailer without e-brakes and it was scarey.
