93 Mack rd688s tri axle dump. I mainly haul 22 tons on regular ( dirt,asphalt,millings ) my current trunnion is cracked everywhere, and needs to be replaced. My question is, is the stengel bros. underneath mounted after market replacement trunnion stand durable enough to do what I need? And what is the best tool to use for enlarging the bolt holes for the new hardware.

We have done a few of them on a fleet of rolloff trucks we work on, and had no problems with durability. We removed the old stands with a plasma and the new ones went up nice. Saved us from having to remove the hoist bodies and hydraulics. We Have a magnetic base drill we use on frames and pintles.
