I just purchased an 18 foot dove tail trailer. Well actually I got in for free but that is another story.
Here is a link to the trailer http://www.bigtextrailers.com/spec/70ch.html
The problem is when I back the tractor off of the trailer the dove tail actually bottoms out on the ground. I broke one of the lights off all ready.
The dove tale and the trailer stand actually hit the gravel when I trailer down gravel roads with a hump in the center.
My hitch on the truck could be an inch lower but I dont think lowering my hitch one inch will fix these problems.
I called the trailer dealer and the trailer manufacturer and both have never but a lift on an equipment trailer.
I know I can fabricate something to put a lift to the trailer about 4" higher but has anyone else run into this situation and what did you do about it?
Oh ya... the manufacturer recommended a rear crutch. He said it was a piece of metal that flips down and prevents the trailer from compressing all the way down. This would fix one problem but I still want the trailer up 4" higher.
