get rid of the trailer. I use this when I have to pull a trailer or car dolly behind the RV, or on the back of the truck, since it is lower than the truck bed. Or on the Atv to move around the yard.

Great idea but it looks like you need some airbags.
or a longer tongue on your trailer...

It is just a hitch hauler. The suspension is set up soft on the Ranger.
I was looking a flipping the axle on my trailer, after reading this thread. It doesn't need to be that high, and lower the CG.

I was going to do it on my new (to me) Triton LT trailer this weekend but I don't think there is enough clearance between the axle and trailer frame to do the simple flip and there is not enough room between the fenders for two skis anyways.
My other hesitation is that even at its current height, the only part of my skis I can see from the cab is the tops of my handpole pads. When I lost the tire on my old trailer one weekend and snapped the axle the very next, the only indication that I had a problem was that I coule not see both handpole pads. My truck just does not feel the trailer so visual is all I have.

the trailer i am working on has some sort of drop axle setup. it has to be custom but not certain. I will snap a pic of it if you guys want to see it. It is a major pos and we use to use it for a tar sprayer trailer, it has a pin you can pull out and tip the trailer. It has a pintle hitch so my truck will pull it. i am hoping to set it up with minimal tounge weight. we will see how that goes cause right not i freaking kill myself trying to lift it.
