    I'm the worst at trying to overload a trailer. What size tires you have? What are you pulling it with? How you drive all this makes a difference on your load? I have cut a car in half and put on a 5x10. It weighted 3000#. Would I do it again heck no too much sway had to drive 45mph. It was the only trailer I had so had to make due. Make sure you always run good tires. Check your axle rating use that to determine your load.
    Good luck

    I totally understand. I primarily go for quality metal (non ferrous) instead of the quantity. So I should be good.
