Trailer build question
Those of you who have built your own trailers modeled after the m416 trailer, what width did you go with for the frame and what width/supplier of the axle?
I picked up a great frame to start with that's 52" wide and 90" deep. I was thinking of making it 48" wide, putting a 4x6 box on it and run 32" or 33" tires to match my JKU, and use the 18" of space up front for a basket for extra fuel or water cans, generated or battery box, or??? I was also think of using yj springs and shocks. I want to keep the track the same or smaller than my jeep.
I would appreciate any input anyone have.

I would think you would get a better answer over on Expedition Trailers - Expedition Portal
Lots of trailer builds there.
