Ok heres the way it is.
I purchased Cedar Creak 27LRS Weight 6500 - 7500 depending on whether you believe the sticker in the trailer or the brochure.
Any way pulling on flat ground at 65mph no problem 3rd gear 2500rpm no strain.
Pulling on slight incline only able to maintain 60mph and not downshift to 2nd gear. Over passes able to maintain 50mph any faster and the tranny downshifts to 2nd and 4000rpm. (note I have 38" tires which steals some of my torque)
The equilizer hitch did help, if you load the rear end with the door open the air bags want inflate and you can adjust so that there is less weight on the tongue. (you can over tighten and lift the rear of the hummer which resulted in a bouncy ride.) I choose to use the equilizer hitch because the torsion bars reacts to the bumps in the road faster than the air bags can inflate and deflate, also reducing the work on the compressor
Will keep yall updated, have another trip planned superbowl weekend (yuk! hope the TV reception is good in Huntsville) Pics to follow camera suffered a fall and no longer works.

PS any Suggestion as to where I can get a supercharger installed in Houston, TX
