Ended picking up a huge set of meats and rims for the Jeep kind of on a whim from the first client of the day. Had to get creative and cram things in on our standard length mid-mount Butler, but we made it work!

I really appreciated the dependability and the easy repair features of Butlers, but they never would take a suggestion on ways to make them more user friendly. I had a custom truck built and they did not balance the load. That is the reason I moved to Aerotech. The new Little Big trucks are goofy looking.

Wow Ron, that is ziggin when it should be zaggin! Is there not room enough in there to add another tank or something to offset the lean?
With the duallies there must be a way to compensate.

The weight was not distributed correctly front axle, rear axle or side to side. Over the years Butler has tried different methods to compensate for overloading chassis, airbags in the front springs, air leveling systems front and rear, etc. The overloading of the vans and dually chassis are hard on front suspension and brakes. At some point they will have to move into true medium duty trucks if they want to properly distribute weight in the trucks with bigger tanks and that carry a large amount of restoration equipment.
