Very smart concept.

"Bill of sale only" - my translation WARNING: He doesn't have a
title slip, and may not have clear title. Do a little Caveat Emptor
and find out for sure before spending money... Other than that, a
drop bed trailer. I've seen them done better,
and with less risky drop suspension designs.

Seems it would be very hard on the hydraulics as well. O-rings
probably really take a beating! Wonder how often the hydraulics have
to be rebuilt....

In NC they usually stamp the serial number on the axle. What axle . .
. In this case? Don't know where the Ser.# would go.

Can you imagine going down the highway at 70 mph, hitting a bump and
rupturing an "O" ring?

If you had a good look at the pix you would see that there is a swing
down stop on both sides that takes the load off the hydraulics in the
travel height position.

Great. I "looked" but must not have looked well enough. ;-) That should take care of the situation. Thanks for letting us know.
