Reid, It seems you have things worked out pretty well. I'll just make one little comment. As the trailer is designed, I do not believe a one inch travel...
Ron & Reid, I think you are both on to something - specifically, called 'CG' or center of gravity. I have loaded my trailer with fence posts sticking out of...
Mike, (snip) ... Yes. Loaded down those little trailers ride amazingly smooth. Different story when empty or lightly loaded. If I had a title to my 64 CJ6, I...
