[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 950150, member: 13181"] Some of my ideas are to build a "headache rack" on the front that will be taller than the bed of my truck. Could be useful when hauling metal or anything longer than 25' or so, make chain and boomer rack on it to? still undecided. I am going to weld in some 2" square tube recievers at the 4 corners and middle of each side/front/back and make one of those davit arm lifts to drop in the revciever tubes, to help load heavy stuff easier. for the tie downs i made a cable setup that has worked very good, going to cut it off the old trailer, weld on the new one. Also plan a tie down rail(stake pockets/flatbar) like used on big truck flatbeds...will have that in front and rear of fenders. Fenders thinking 10" channel so I can load hay etc, on top if I need too. Have 1/4" plate fenders I built currently and it is nice being able to load stuff on top of them and using them for tie down points.Ramps I have the ones that came with my old trailer, will reuse them.Spare tire mount is another thing, would like to mount it under the trailer using a setup like on pickups with the cable, not sure I will have enough clearance if i do that.[img]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff319/beachcamper/IMAG0655.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
