    It's a 16' Smokercraft Alaskan that's filled up with fishing gear. I'm not sure of the weight, but it's fully loaded and then some.
    I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I have the weight of a Snugtop canopy on the back of my truck also.

    I have an '06 DC short bed that I put a 3" Toytec lift on and I also added airride bags to balance out the truck when I have a load in it. Works great. I attached a photo of my trailer that I tow. I towed without the airbags and they definitely make a good difference. Trailer weighs appx 3800lbs dry, so about 4800lbs loaded.
