    I have had too many people move a trailer with a hard mounted jack and either be too lazy or just forget to raise it all the way up and drag and bend it. That irks me to no end, so that's why all my stuff gets removable jacks. The toolbox there is nice as long as you don't need to go pick up a buddy's car or something that's not going to fit with it on there. I like it though, you will definitely be able to haul whatever you want on that one though.

    Thats why we run side jacks on our work trailers. I hook up trailers and then take the jacks off and put them in a toolbox, so the canadicans cant bend them. I just prefer center frames.

    Looks good, nice and beefy. My dad bent the center solid mount jack on our little trailer a couple times after dragging it over rocks out at the ranch. We ended up building a flat skid which raised the jack. Now the foot of the jack is flush with bottom of the frame when it's all the way up.

    I have a center mount 5000 lb jack on my trailer and while it is overkill at half the trailer's weight rating, it makes lifting the tongue with a heavy load MUCH easier. The only problem is when someone forgets to raise the foot before taking off. I did this once and bent the ***** so bad I had to replace the entire jack.

    Clayton, please tell me the toolbox is mounted to the deck and not the tongue? (For those that dont know, its a tilt deck)

    Got the axles moved back a total of 12 inches. I hope it isnt too much. Before I had to move the jeep essentially where the bumper was halfway over the tongue to keep it from walking, so hopefully this fixes that.

    it would be tits if you made a set up that copied big rig trailers...like on 53' vans that slide the axles. just pull a pin hold the electric brake on and back up or pull forward to move the axles.

    Well you have to understand who I was working with. I'm just saying it relies on the electric trailer brakes to hold, and there is a lot of force on it. If they don't hold, or it's muddy or whatever, things are going to start moving really fast. In our case the brakes weren't working, so they decided to chock the wheels. The chock let go and the axles came slamming forward and deck rocked back, it was fawked up. I just think it's gimmicky and dangerous, don't see the need for it.

    everytime I see one of those being loaded or unloaded I just stand back and watch as usually it's quite the show. electric trailer brakes don't work in reverse and surge brakes suck also, so in my opinion there really is no way to make these trailers load and unload reliably. if you hate ramps that bad get a tilt deck.
