    2-in-1 Rust Reform & Seal frame paint

    I just prepped the metal lines and covered them too. since they were not stainless I figured any protection they could get was worth it. its pretty thick stuff and self leveling.

    its the Gross Axle Weight Rating, so divide the weight of the truck between the front and rear axles and it gives you more room to play with. figure in the tongue weight of the trailer plus the 1000lbs loaded in the bed and should give you the gross tow weight. From what I'm seeing the 2500...
