See if offers torsion axles, they work fantastic for what we do. Also Dexter and Alko are providing torsion axles for all new US Military and Nato forces, for trailers under 10K. They cost a bit more, but well worth the price.

I didn’t see any Torsion set ups when I was there, but if you call him who knows he seemed very open to what I wanted different or extra. The weight capability of torsion is great, I work with them in the military a lot, and there is no denying the reliable weight carrying ability. But I personally, won’t ever be that heavy. I like the unsprung weight and articulative travel of the leaf over axle set up for off camber scenarios to keep upright.

Funny, but folks were saying the same thing when Sierra trailers entered the market: "get a welder and build it yourself, too much, etc". How is your welder going to form that sheet metal box, lid, tailgate, etc? Have you looked at the price of steel lately?

His price of $3500 is a steal now and it will only go up.

You can now order the 3500 torsion axle, with 2000 pound action, meaning a rubber bar designed to carry 2000, my trailers are set up with the 3500 axle, but down graded to 2700, but has all the 3500 hardware, meaning spindle and bearings, hubs.

And so very true ACE. There is far more work in building a trailer than welding. From what I have seen, it appears to have good lines and well thought out for a base unit. I see the price rising also.

Wow Aspen, I never saw your trailers before and just checked out your site. That is an increadible set up. Obviosly your torsion set up does very well judging by the video. The whole trailer looks to have great attention to detail. Cant wait to see more.

I dont know if rugers price will go up soon or not, most things do in time. But I definetly liked what I saw for the money now. I agree completly with you and Ace Brown on building though.

My only issue with those is that the box seems to be a bit short? 5' vs 6'?

[Ace Brown]

I agree 5' is a might short for capacity but it appears his main concern was to have nearly no rear overhang.

He is advertising in local craigslist for $2900 for basic and $3200 for 35 inch tires. Last month the basic was $2495. If I had the money, I would buy it.

[Ace Brown]

Got to wonder why the builder has never been seen on the (his) thread. Also wondering where one of his trailers might be seen other than driving to Denver. Anyone have one on the western slope?

I looked at his specs but could not find weight. I'm guessing 700-800#.

Just talked to Steve today and hopefully I'll be up there tomorrow to check these out in person. Very interesting option for sure.
