M105 from GP questions?

[WOLF DOG]

Won a M105A2 trailer from IronPlanet today, do I need to worry about a EUC ? Paperwork says I need to take delivery by 05-18-2015. Also, I will be bringing it home with my F350 pickup. How high does the pintle hitch need to be ?

Redtruck is lifted on 34's with a custom fabbed rear bumper with an integrated hitch positioned higher than stock in order to tow M1101 trailers level. I'm remembering hitch height at 29". You'll note that the M105A2 is still quite nose down. Empty it won't matter..... just raising the pintle with a riser is NOT an optimal solution. You increase leverage on the truck frame and the hitch where it bolts to the frame. You run a risk of breaking things with the increased leverage.

As to EUCs, M105s generally don't require them.

Now that we've hijacked the OPs thread......
