That must be a LessRdye suspension  ????? I truly hope those are not MaraBombs on that rig, that would be triple load on each one, wonder how long they would last under those conditions?? Good pics though!!

Interresting situation, that's always why it's best to hit those drivway drops at an angle.

Just another reason NOT to buy a three axle rig! The #1 reason is that when you are turning any turn at least one axle is sliding on the turn and tires are sliding with it, thus some real unusual tread wear  !  LOL #2 reason they're just a whole lot more expensive and the Monte is just a nice inside! Sending you a PM Carol!

And he might be nose high. I worry about this with my slightly nose high rig. Has anyone installed those wheels that hang down from the rear of the frame for deep ruts like this?
I do see that if he didn't need 3 axles the load would be carried on the two remaining axles. With three then surely the remaining two axles are taking up that weight especially the rear axle.
Wow, this is a thought provoking picture on another thing to be concerned about - straight shots through driveways with deep curbs. Going through them at an angle is a good option if you can do it. But this means trying to avoid left turns into driveways. It doing it at a light then that's probably better.

In response to those little wheels on the back, be VERY careful if you install them, when they engage with the road they put upwards pressure on the back end of your unit, can cause a reverse type of flex. Yes, damage can result unless you are EXTREMELY careful and enter and exit those situations slowly. Ask us how we know and sometime I'll tell ya (when I have more than 2 minutes to read the forum - - running running running LOL)

Who knows what direction those wheels will head if the weight is on them and not on the two sets up front. I'd hate to see the Monte take off and jack-knife into a pump or post! That would not be a pretty sight!

I liked the rattlesnake sign!
Noticed that one and thought the message was very clear.
