1/4 mile?
Yeah, its very close, I would have to pull it about twice a year about
150 miles.

consider a receiver hitch
Thats what I have.
so you could reverse a drop hitch and raise the
Yeah that sounds reasonable.

You may choose to add some type of overlaod to your car. There are several
options.Hydraulic or air shocks are one.
My car has some sort of air shocks now, I have a load leveler system,
although I have no idea how effective they might be, sounds like I
should maybe go to a shock dealer and get an opinion?

For you the Timbren overlaods might be adequate.
I will look this up, Thanks
sacrifice your ride when not hauling the trailer.

If you take it very easy I doubt you would do any permanent damage to your
car by taking a single trial run to see what you need to do.
I plan to take a trial run for pulling, my tranny is supposed to
deliver 220 ft/pounds of torque so I am trying now to determine if
that is suffiecient to pull approx 3000 lbs or not.

I've already bought a heavy duty (5000lb towe capacity) transmission
cooler for my car ($41 at AutoZone) and will install before trying any
serious towing.
Thanks Very Much,Danny
