I see 'Dr_Spock' it's a twin steer prime mover, my old man used to drive twin steer trucks with a lazy rear axle.

Very good MOD you have done, I used your link and I could this kind of vehicle is very common in Europe !

Anyway well done and I'm a conformist! 'Dr_Spock' !

Hi dr_spock,

this is nice MOD, huge truck, really. Good idea, it is good inspiration for me. 5 stars from 5

I have one question. I have also this original truck, there is problem with the trailer: lifted wheel on the end, when the trailer is fully extracted. Do You have the same problem with your modified trailer? I see that you add one axis more for higher stability. But the additional technic liftarm increase (maybe?) the deviation of trailer body (banana ). Thank Your for your answer.

Thanks guys.

lightningtiger, I like European trucks. They are different than what we have here in North America.

Kalahare, I can still have a tiny bit of lift on the rear wheel of the trailer depending on the load it is carrying. It is not as much as the liftarms bending with those crane arms in the original. I try to keep as much weight as possible over the last set of wheels.

You can try a couple of things to keep it down.

Raise the king pin on the tractor so that the goose neck is higher up.

Weigh down the back of the trailer with some metal weights
