New trailer

It has torsion axle on it so I'm trying to figure out how to get some height out it.

Looking at pictures of torsion axles it looks like you could place a 2x2 on top to gain height or at the four mounting points there are 2x2 flat plate welded off the frame maybe a body lift at those spots?
It does need a little height gain, I dont plan to take it off road just through a forset service campground. I still have the M416 for off road trips.

If you use the 2x2 tube, I would suggest drilling oversize and installing sleeves in order to achieve a good clamp load. I've tried clamping across tube before, and find that it's excessively compressible, so it's difficult to achieve a good clamp load.

Nice trailer! I like the slide out table/kitchen in the rear - gives a bit of versatility to the standard teardrop design. One thing though. I note there is no wall between the "kitchen" and bed area. I thought that this dividing wall usually found on teardrops was an integral part of the structure providing cross bracing. I would be a bit concerned about the RTT on top if there is minimal structure for racking internally. If it stays on the hardtop it wouldn't be so much of a problem.
