I really like the design of this trailer, but I wish the rear suspension and airbags looked a little better. Can't complain to much though. All that aluminum is awesome!

Sweet lowboy Smiley, how exactly does the neck work on this trailer? Do you have any close up picks of the neck? Can't wait to see more and hear your review of this trailer.
