you might wanna try these. http://www.highlifter.com/product.php?pk=8478&pname= ..I know I was going to. Also, I would get some radial tires. Those rubber balloon dunflops don't do the Grizz justice at all. Stock Axles shouldn't be a problem when pulling things unless you go bigger then stock size tires. Get those highlifter springs and crank them tight and giver a go


quick edit.... the tongue limit that Yamaha gives you (forgot how much it was 30# maybe?) is the limit that you'll start noticing handling changes with the Grizz. I'm sure that the tongue weight on those boats shouldn't be an issue...unless yer one of those guys who can squat 500+ LBS...then I'm sure the "if I can lift it, it should be ok" rule stands.

 

Why dont you try to rig up some type of rear end suspension stop. I know they are made for atv plows to keep your front from squatting

 

Just wondering what exactly was happening when you hit the dusty concrete floor? Spinning tires?

 

You probably already did it, but I have to ask; did you adjust the stock suspension settings? If so and you are still concerned, check out the highlifter springs. Or, if you don't care about cost, give Elka a shout to see if they can help you out. I KNOW their shocks are night and day difference and they interview you before building your set-up to ensure you get the set-up you need. What I don't know is if they will build a set-up for what you are doing, but hey, it never hurts to ask right?

Man...now I REALLY wanna know if they would do something like this.

 

Get use to replacing the oneway bearing and belts. Always tow in low. I tore mine up pulling a 12x7 enclosed decoy trailer during goose season last year.

Just my .02

Just wondering what exactly was happening when you hit the dusty concrete floor? Spinning tires?[/b]

spinning all fours and feel like im water skiing,

my shocks are maxxed out in the stiffest position and no I cant squat 500+ but I think the trailer probably is 150lbs at the toungue which combined with a long ball mount is some leverage and wants to lift the front tires dosent but wants to espicially when turning.

 

I tow my 2300lb 14ft. tandem axle construction trailer with my Grizzly 660 around the yard when mowing that area without problem. I use low range 4x4 and have the benefit of the HL lift springs and super duty extreme clutch kit. With my 25" Bighorns it makes for a really grunty 660.

 

I've used the tongue jack with a tire on it. I lifted it until it was about 3-4" off the ground and if it would squat past that the jack took the weight off my Grizz but would still roll and kept the front tires on the ground for traction. It's a thought, all depending on the surface your driving on.

 

008 hace you ever use a hand dolly, a manual lift with 2" ball mounted on 2 wheel barrow tires and a long handle. You could rig up a pin hookup on end of handle to hook up to atv. lots of boat shops have these around. all weight would then be on dolly tires instead of atv, pulling it around like wagon. these work great inside garages in close quarters. might have to spread out width of axle if moving very far or on rougher terrain.

 

THE EVEL ONE

2 words for you Bro...John Deere....:devil::devil::devil:

 

just get a beat up truck for that kind of work too much abuse for atv.

 

X2, on the highlifter springs, they will stiffen it up pretty good.

 

Use Trailer DOLLIES and leave some tension on the cement about medium torque without rachecting up the Dolly wheel on the trailer while it's hooked up to your machine in the garage. Slightly above level then if you bottom the dolly wheel should catch it and put about 75 lbs on your front rack. But don't haul down the highway with the dolly wheel down on your TOW Vehicle.
