Any pictures of the trailer suspension setup?

In the office right now so I don't have pics, but here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_07beyDdg54

The leaf pack is from a 1987 Toyota pickup with an add-a-leaf. It is block lifted 4" with 6" shackles (IIRC) and poly bushings. The Ranchos do an amazing job dampening, while the springs keep it soft enough that everything in the camper doesn't get shaken to bits.

Someone might expect something more along the lines of a trailing arm and air bag setup at that price point, good luck.

I'm sure there are people with a lot of different expectations. The expo world tends to like AT style trailers. Been there, done that, which is why I built this trailer. It has room for a family, and is WAY more comfortable with lots of creature comforts, amenities, and storage. Plus it tows amazingly well, and is proven to be just as capable as any other trailer out there. I understand if its not your cup of tea. Thanks for looking though!
