Also hard to tell from the photos but is the front of the deck on the lowboy dragging the ground? Need more springs on the truck and trailer? Maybe go solid mount, have Steve or Russ or somebody mill up something that looks like springs but are solid but keep the axle articulation?

the axles are on the bump stops and the nose of the trailer was about a credit card
thickness off the ground. I need to do up the springs on the sleeper truck as
that is the one set up for this lowboy.

Mark, just a thought, have are you familiar with Russ's truck Sour Diesel? He used a 775 can motor, planetary gearbox and LiPO pushing 25V for a truck pull. He posted a video of him smoking that motor but maybe less volts and a lighter trigger finger would be a good setup for moving heavy iron like that?

Read about Sour Diesel here;

Just like the real thing. Too big to haul in one so break it down.
