For you guys pulling teardrops and adventure trailers using light truck tires on them, Ever get any blowouts? I'm building a trailer myself but my dad blew a street tire on a Chevy LUV trailer he built and my XJ blew a mud tire when it was getting dollied (rear shaft removed) so now I'm a little gun shy. I want to do the whole matching wheel and tire thing but dunno....

Pic for attention, but I'm planning to run pintlers with 35" KO2s

About 10000 miles without any problems so far.

Unfortunately it is not possible for me to put the matching Gladiator size on my trailer, that would be my preferred option.

My recommendation: Go fot it!

Towing my Ranger to Big Sky Race Week 5hrs each way (2k lb trailer, 3200 lb truck) and our camper to the mountains for a lakeside getaway. A trailer brake is a must and towing at 65mph makes everything a lot more comfortable. My future plan is to swap the gears from 3.73 to 4.56 (or 4.88, not sure yet).

Out with the old Cruiser Hitch 16RD and in with a new (used) Jayco Jayfeather X213. I never really got to like the layout of the Hitch so when opportunity came to trade for something I liked much better, I jumped on it. Despite being around 1k pounds heavier, the Jayco tows better while also having more room and better features for my needs. I'm very happy to report the JTRD had no issues towing it out and back from Texas to Colorado.
