I want a trailer like that! Is it coil or leaf spring? I'd like it to match my Blazer.

I'd like a trailer like that too. Lift it up with some 38's and paint it to match.

It's got coils. I put some spring stiffeners and new shox on it. I wanted a trailer that could go anywhere I can. Having the coils makes the suspension a little softer, making it easier to pull over anthru some stuff. In time, It will have the same size tires and wheels, a skid plate on the front, and I'm thinking about mouning that big gas tank I'll be taking off the Fox under there too.

The hitch is a combo, available at any trailer supply, and sometimes Wal-Mart. The bumper is a 1-of-a-kind, unique to the Fox. I'll get around to finishing it some day, but for now it pulls and protects. The front matches the back, see my other posts.

2wdBlazer - That's exactly what I'd like to do. Lift it, put some 35' under it and paint it to match. I was thinking, if it is a coil frame, maybe making the bed a dump-bed and using that extra height to clear the bigger tires.
