Looks good time for a suspension upgrade in the rear

Swapped out new wheels/tires last week and getting a lift next week. Hopefully it will be all sorted then!

Heavier load rated spring in the rear I hope. These babies usually need it.

OME HD Is the plan. They have three different rear springs available so I should be able to get what we need.

You'll be happy with those. I run medium fronts (no bumper or winch) and heavy rears. They arent the best when the vehicle is unloaded, but perfect towing off road

Silly question: What size shackle did folks get for locking the rear gate on the trailer?\
Id like to get a decent lock and what I have sitting around doesn't fit. Upon researching it seems there are all sorts of options in lock type and shackle size.
Help appreciated. Thank you

Houston?

Looks like just the needed ticket!

Is there a distributor in Houston?

Anyone know if there is an "autotrader" type website for these kind of trailers?

We're looking for one but would prefer not to buy new.

I keep watching the forum and craigslist but not many trailers of this caliber come up...if ever.

TIA.

What is the difference b/w the XV1 and XV2? I don't see any information on the 1 on the website?

 

[XVENTURE TRAILERS]

The base chassis on both units is identical with same materials and construction. The XV1 then gets painted black and gray, with textured powder coat on the steps and fenders. The XV1 has a smaller front cabinet and does not have a power control unit nor an elevating roof rack. The XV2 comes standard with a poly urea coating on the large front cabinet, steps, fenders and inside the bed, it also has the elevating rack standard and has the power control unit with a goal zero yehti 400 power supply and 6 switch panel. Because the chassis are identical, all systems and accessories can be added to either the XV1 or the XV2. Feel free to contact me tkenfield@schuttindustries.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks

Not many people are deciding to part with their XV's, however there are other brands available used pretty often.
