Got a lot done on my trailer today. For those of you that dont know I bought this big tex 12,000 lb trailer for a grand. Had two 6000 lb axles. Had wood floor and some pretty heavy ramps on the back, but much has been inproved. In the front will sit a Knaack Box thats 5'x 2.5' x 2" for tools and parts. The black bar that spands across the front will be what my tires sit up against. Still working on some lighter ramps for the rear and keeping the center open for custom built storage. This morning the trailer was bare down to the frame rails. The night shots suck.

looks good, id keep those ramps, maybe just narrow them some, also that will conteract you having a box up front to ruduce the toung weight when your unloaded...

id loose that black tube, unless its to protect the box, you will find that your rig may not need to sit there for best trailer load distrobution. Just a thoguht... I paint a white strip on the floor and center the tire on that. Then do +/- for other rigs...

i like the rear drop legs they look handy...
