Silverbolt - I actually had some violent wheel hop once about a month ago. About 4 or 5 violent wheel hops while in soft sand.

I don't think it should be doing that. May I suggest you start a new thread as it seems different than OP's scenario.

haha will do thanks! thank you

after a certain point in throttle-press - something happens that is akin to engine idling

yeah I had mine hidden in the foot well and controlled via my phone.

I enjoy them very much. My initial impressions remain the same. Whats changed now is that the ride is softer because the lugs have softened/edges dulled due to riding on the street. Ride is better now. Not that it was harsh earlier but akin to installing knobbies - they take time to re-form to...

Hahaha

I was happy till I got to the condescending bit at the end lol. I'll see what I can do with shifting weight.

It started off and I think I cleared it up and more than happy to answer any questions. Really. I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I'm here to learn from you guys and hopefully contribute back to the community. Until I can get the tongue weight weighed or provide a photo that illustrates...

Then how do I reduce the tongue weight without altering hitch height or axle location?

hahaha you guys are way too "conspiracy theory" at the moment electing to share information left out Whatever you ask I'll answer nothing to hide and no reason to hide anything

Wasn't insisting I was right. Was just clarifying the blunder I made when I said that the axle being away from the the car relieves it of excess weight on tongue. But you've all jumped the gun on blaming it on the tow setup. I'm not saying its not the tow - I'm saying without weighing the...

Yeah I made a mistake. The further back (away from vehicle) the axle is, the more leveraged weight on the hitch. I don't know how I could've made that mistake. Qualms of quarantine I suppose. What was in my mind was correct, I'll explain in a second, but it came out wrong. The trailer tongue...

I was writing in a hurry and can see how I wasn't clear. The trailer axle is not centered on the trailer bed. Perpendicularly - the axle is closer to the trailer ramp than the trailer tongue. What I mean by that is because the axle is closer to the ramp, the trailer tongue tends to lift...

It depends on what off road you do. Soft rolling dunes Jittery fire roads Rock gardens

The buggy is ahead of the trailer, you're right. But thats to avoid this: But notice the axle is rearward - away from the car which leverages the weight towards the trailer ramp. You can see the weight in the photo.

I'd say 200 to 250 lbs springs were ok and dont look excessively flat

haha no but from the picture, its obvious that the weight of the trailer/buggy isn't pushing down very much if anything, I should look to making it completely flat how do you suggest I weigh ?

nope never I've towed a buggy that weighs 1600 lbs and the axles on the trailer are forward (away from vehicle) and therefore puts less tongue weight. the max tongue load is 500 lbs even if my trailer was pushing the hitch down, I'd still be within the load

practical I like it

gents does my spring leaf look to S shaped? Stock springs - 2017 with 22,000 miles No jumping and any offroading was mostly fire roads or long stretches of soft sand
