We loaded up my escalade with the ctsv and tows it no problem. Autoride kept the rear up and even with 5 people in the the truck was no issues. Control is a lot better and to test that I loaded up the trailer on my friends stock 2010 autoride truck and much more sway on his. His father uses the truck to tow his chevelle to the track and the ctsv being at 1k more weight he said mine feels a lot better (now hes set on doing the same kit)

Here is a pic ill take more tomm at the car show.




Did about 100 miles of driving and truck towed it with no issues. Car show went great.

do you recall what size the lower ball join nut is? 24mm?

i might have to get a socket for it and possibly rent a ball joint puller?
