I have a 2WD truck and the front bearings have to be serviced, Ford recommends every 30K miles but after starting to use extra tacky grease I'm doing it every 50K, I just did them at 30K and which I would have taken a picture of them because they definitely didn't need it. I don't pack our present trailer because they are Nev-R-Lube and the only grease they have is what's packed into the bearings cage at the factory, I check end play every year but that's all. I've run trailers my whole life both for work and play and always repacked them from new and 3 or 4 years after that depending on how much they are used. Get the bearing cage full and your good to go. Denny -

Congratulations Larry! I jumped in and singled mine. I never had a plan for more weight like you do tho. Just saying I agree with the folks above. I wish you well on your project ahead!!

Larry - One thing I didn't notice until just now: In the photo of Greg's carbon bed with the jeep on it, that is a model 670 truck. A much smaller and lighter cab/sleeper than your 860. Even with the composite bed, I would side with the other guys here that the weight on your steer axle with a jeep and no trailer may be a concern. Not to mention, when fully loaded with jeep and trailer, what is the weight on the truck, steer and drive? I would advise extensive research before incurring the expense of singling, only to be overweight on one or both axles afterword.
