well i traded in my 5X8 for a 6.9 X 10

Now the new trailer is used but is in good shape.

I got a biger trailer so i can pull 2 atv/stuff. The trailer has a 3000 capacity, wood deck, big tires.

upgrades.
1. tie downs in the deck
2. D-rings
3. cut rail make ramps 2 side load.
4. flip the leaf springs (for when my truck gets lifted higher)
5. toolbox on front
6. replace all lights with LEDs

get after it!!

you said flip the leaf springs..... that will work, but then your trailer will sit higher, and the ramps will be at a greater angle possibly making things harder to load.... would getting a drop hitch work better? then also the cog wont be effected

Flipping the springs is only about a 2-2.5 inch difference. COG won't be a problem.

well im not worried about the ramp angle do 2 i have a 600CC moter and 4wd.
Also I allready have a drop I DO NOT WANT a 5-7" drop hitch thats just gay/ not good for angle/dangle on the frame/reciver.

I think it would be around 3" if i flip them .
The only thing i don't like is trailer axle tubes are bent in the middle for weight mc=2 sqaure. fliping it would have the bend facing down.

what is COG

Nice trailer. I should be picking one up this week maybe next. I am buying a tandem Axel car trailer off of a Buddy. He is finishing his goosneck then I can buy the one I borrow from him all the time.

well i could ask if they can fit it in the overhead compartment on the plane

lol i don't think trailering it on the rubbercon is a good idea it's so wide and dose not flex well

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 28, 2007, 10:23:28 AM »

got the expanded metal from work ( free) and mig it in working on the box now.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jun 09, 2007, 12:45:14 PM »
