Allan, Come on, Now!.... 2, 7500k lb axles - the wt of the trailer. Now + the wt of the tractor + cab and AC conpoenents, + cast wt and you are too short on trailer. May 20 miles or so but not 425.
Go....Beg, Borrow, or Steal ,Something like your trailer with 10K or 12K axles w/ duals on each axle, then set the tractor just enough forward to set the backend down an inch or two. Then it will work.
Though your truck will be the only shortspot I see then. Yes, under shod, and under braked But it will work. Just watch you Ps & Qs Pick your roads, and times to avoid major trafic and such.
just BE CAREFUL ol Friend!!!!
Later,
John A.
PS....I brought my 966 home from 350 miles away on a tandem axle w/ 12K axle trailes, My weak link was my 82, 3/4ton, 4x4, gas. it was an old light duty rig not HD like yours. Mine would only run 55 or so with that load. And my pickup was the only thing with brakes....Yes Not again like that.
