I have to much power when pulling my one 5th wheel with my SC 1/2 ton, so I was thinking of pulling a secound one full of motorcycles and other toys. I'm not sure how many ft I can go out to and how to hook the two together just yet.
2005 Chev 5.3 Supercharged 395HP 425 T hp. Two wheels on front, 2 on back. one seat, tint windows. front and rear bumpers, headlights, windows. Door on each side. Heater, floor mats, 6 Reese candy bars, junk behind seats, some dirt. Pulls so hard.

Can it be hooked to the front and you just push it?

Get a Harley and pull the truck/5er/toy trailer. Should be way better fuel mileage.
Shouldn't all Super's posts be in ATC, or maybe create a separate wing just for him?

Holy smokes, you got bored today didn't you.
I'm planning to keep my 6.0L gas engine for many moons (truck is almost paid off). So far, I've never had a situation where I felt I didn't have enough power. If that day comes I would first get a tuner that minimizes torque management. If that doesn't give satisfactory results I think I'd look a little closer at your Supercharging solution.
Ford seems to have hit a homerun with the Ecoboost. I think consumers are starting to get the idea that with the right technology, you can make a lot of power with a gas engine and still get reasonable fuel efficiency.

You can get some sort of tandem rig similar to semi-trailers you've surely seen on the road. Make sure if you're using an F150 you get it with the 4.3 motor rather than the 5.4 because there's no reason to use a fuel hog for that light of a load.
