Thanks everyone, you guys never cease to amaze me! The wealth of detailed information you share and the depth of experience is a benefit to us all. This particular trailer does have a 16' garage so I would have the ability to load the bikes in tandem allowing some latitude in weight shifting...

Ok guys, I need some help....AGAIN! Once more I can't get a straight answer out of anyone at the trailer places. I bought a Chevy 2500 Duramax short bed crew cab. My label inside my door reads 2,151 pounds, my manual shows 13,000 towing capacity and 1,500 pounds tongue weight. We just put money...
