			So this is my next project. I'm building a tandem A-train converter. I'm going to build the suspension from scratch again. This time I'm going to do it Spring Style like the ones I use at work. It should look pretty cool when its done.

  . Eventually once I figure out how I want to build them and have the room to put them I'm gonna build 2 53 ft trailers. I'm thinking one will be a tandem and one will be a tridem.
