This is the part of the question that is easy to solve. However, the bigger question is How are you going to stop this beast since it weighs more than your towing vehicle, Secondly, this trailer will push your light weight/non-dually truck's rear end around in a turn on dry pavement...even for slow turns please do not touch your brakes in so much as a slow shallow turn. The trailer tongue weight of this trailer is higher than your rated load carrying capacity of your truck. This trailer sits level on a 42" high hitch. How high is your truck's hitch? The tires on the trailer are 395 x 85R20. How high are your truck tires in comparison? AND, all of this with no trailer brakes.
I say all this because I picked up my first M1082 in 2009 from Ft. Bragg and towed it 270 miles home up I-95. It was not fun. I did so with a 2001 Dodge Ram dually with an air brake device I built for such adventures. Check out my old postings dated about 5-6 years ago on this site. There are photos and details. However, even with caged brakes, I could not move the trailer at Ft Bragg. I called my buddy John Winslow and he carried the trailer to his place in Halifax via trailer and we met the next morning at his place. We could not get the brakes to release. After an hour of shooting lube and working with several prying devices, the dang brakes finally let do. The point is caging the brakes is not always the answer.
My second M1082 purchase several years ago (also at Ft Bragg) was better but not by much. I took a 5-ton for the job. I lit up the brakes checked for leaks but no movement. I caged the brakes and still no movement. Lots of lube and plenty of rocking and the brakes finally released. The trip home was uneventful.
My point of all this is to be prepared and leave no possible opportunity for failure to be uncovered. Get it home. Clean it up. You will appreciate all the trouble you endured to get.
-x). They are so far behind on releasing non-critical stuff!
