As for the trailer, its been sitting in the driveway since I got back. I will be swapping out the independent suspension for solid and leafs until I find new springs with a higher rate... the suspension worked great, towed great, but the springs were near bottomed out the whole trip. I am considering air bags too but for now I am just going to swap the axle and use it as it is.
I havnt had a whole lot of time to work on it since I've been back and the garage is still a mess so I cant even get it backed in at the moment lol.
Thanks; good luck.

Looks great.

Well until I figure out my coil springs and possibly air bags to assist the springs, maybe a second setbof shocks....
I had a bunch of parts hanging around from other trailers so I swapped in a solid axle and leafs while I sort out other parts.
Sits at the original height planned for the trailer lol. No more hitting my head on doors.
