So made a double hitch setup for the lawn trailer and for the taller boat trailers. Just wondering if I should make a couple brace to the frame as I won't take it off. Do you think this muck rise will have to much leverage on the frame? Any thoughts area appreciated as i want to take the boat on a 50 mile gravel road trip.

Nice.. Guess it depends on what all you plan to pull on the top level.
That boat won't hurt it.
But a trailer full load of wood in the soft ground might.
If you plan to keep it. a brace looks like an easy solution.

That boat & Empty trailer should be fine ( Short Hauls ).
Same boat or empty trailer "50" mile trip on gravel road with Raised Receiver.
ADDS Whole different Strain on the Factory Receiver where it is attached to the Frame.
Definately WOULD ADD a BRACE back to the Frame.

Added pictures of the triple Receiver set up I've put on ATV's & UTV's
Top 2in.Receiver -- is for Bumper or WINCH Storage ( WINCH is mounted to be used on 2in. Receiver Ft. or

Rear )
Center 2in. Receiver -- is for raised 2in. Ball or winch pulling
Bottom Factory -- is Reinforced

Well the trip isnt happening yet as we. There was still 12 inches of hard pack snow about 5 miles in this last weekend. The plan is to leave form the cabin at rock creek reservoir and take the back roads up to badger lake here in Oregon. Its on the east side of mt hood. It is about 25 miles one way with an elevation change from 2000 ft up to 5100 feet. With the weather we will have to Probly go first week of june or so
