Snapped this today near downtown Houston on Interstate 10. The ball is mounted about 3-4 inches from the rear. Sorry for the bad picture. View attachment 14103View attachment 14104
Thats a fairly common thing for welding rigs here in Texas. Seems like it'd put more stress on the rear end and a heavy enough load would be tough to balance.

Saw a guy in San Antonio this past weekend pulling a 5'er in the same configuration, I don't think his front tires were even touching the ground.....

Not sure about Austin now.
I'm 45 minutes from Austin. It's very quickly becoming a CA town in the middle of TX.

My comment was more to confirm with Chrisminx this dumb "modification" happens on welding rigs all over TX.

Saw this while driving to work this morning. I figure it's a little off balance. Front axle was barely touching the ground. towing (2).jpg
