Got her spit shined and the added springs out of the rear. Now it sits right in the rear. But I still may lower it some more.

I think I'd try it for a trip Blake, if it sits level, it may be about the correct ride height then. Looks good, in my opinion.

Blake, The Load leveler will make a difference you would not believe also. Especially on those interstates at the bridge and road transitions. I love mine,make sure you try it since you already have one. Very Happy

Guys these heavy nosed trailers you really need a weight distributing hitch. The hitches are rated for half as less without one..............really puts a strain on the hitch etc.
