gotta be around 1k. I know jk is rated for 3500#. I told him if I wanted to haul a yard of gravel, that was around 2200#. Axles are rated for 3500#. Can't wait till he gets the tent mounted. Check this pic of clearance.Click image for larger version

Are you using a torsion type suspension or just a hard mount??

Default Torsion?

Why'd you pick a torsion suspension, and not leaf, spring, or something else? Curious as to what considerations were made for a trailer.

Default max clearance

I want it to roll over anything the jeep will. The torsions are rated pretty good, I am anxious to see how it preforms. It is not just a camp trailer. We don't have a truck and it will do. It won't exactly be light. I will weigh it after it is done and post.

Holy crap that post came from nowhere, but that thing looks awesome. Need more pics! How is the inside fitted out? How do you like the Eezi-awn? Where are you planning to take it? How have you been for the past.... year?
