Gooseneck questions

[Soundguy]

not sure what you are asking about the axels but 1 jack should be fine as long as you do not unhook loaded a lot, the trailer alone probably weighs under 1000 lbs and the jack is probably rated to a min 5k so that's a pretty good ratio.

i think you are shooting way way way too low.

my gn of similar size, 14k rated weighs 4300# with flip up ramps.


mine also has only 1 jack. never been an issue for me for anything the trailer was hauling within it's rated spec.

Hold on, a 27' gooseneck weighs less than 1000 lbs?

I meant the jack should only be supporting 1000 lbs. when trailer is empty, not the trailer weight, made sense in my mind.:drink:

My 24' gooseneck only has a single jack and after I bought it I thought I might have regretted not getting the dual jacks but after six years it has been a non issue. What do the upgraded axels gain you? Weight? Oil bath hubs?

I have dual jacks on mine but I do unhook it while its loaded quite often. As for upgraded axles are you getting 7k axles or dual tandem?

I have 8k axles and 14ply tires which if I did it again I would go with 10k axles and single 17.5 wheels? That's just me. And that costs a whole bunch more. I also don't like attached ramps I like slide in ramps as I haul all kinds of odd sized loads
