    After having a tow rig for three years i finally towed with it!!! I picked up my trailer a couple months ago and had to wait for the W/D set up to come, got it on, finally got my straps but didnt have any where to put them, so today i went up to a welding place and made 12 tie down points. They are 5/8th" round bar all around the trailer, once i got home i couldnt wait to start figuring out how to tie it down, so up on the trailer it went and after a couple times i had something i thought would work so down the road we went. Truck did a good job pulling, I'm really pround of my little 6.0 gasser.

    I'm jealous as hell ! That is the trailer kind of ( or style ) trailer that I want. I have been borrowing trailers when I have needed them to see what I like and what will fit my needs and I do believe one like yours will be just right.
    Looks great waytogo waytogo !

    Sweet man. I did that too shortly after getting my tow rig just to see how it pulled. Kinda fun to drive with the 4X on the trailer and everybody breaking their necks to see it when you pass by people. :)

    The trailer is 18' long, no dove tail, 4500lb axles with brakes on both, self charging break away kit, 5' ramps and with the dodge 60 and 14ff without the spacers it fits between the fenders, barley but it squeses in. the front is high, i dont like it but thats as low as the shank will get it, I'm going to have to find one that will allow for more drop in the future. I got the trailer from http://www.nctrailers.com/pages/trailers.cfm?CatID=7 these guys, super nice, they did everything on the phone, by the time i got there the trailer was ready, they put in the brake controller and i was gone.
