Have you seen PJ's air ride option? I want to go look at one in person. It sounds like a great idea.
Its all a self contained unit.
The axle lift option would be kinda cool.

PJ has a lot of the options you mentioned previously.

I spend a lot of time pulling my trailer around and hauling a lot of different things and there's always a way to do something better/easier if I had the proper setup on my trailer. Keeps me thinking all the time.

I've never seen the air ride option in person but I have heard about it. It would be a neat feature but a little more maintenance and possibly more problems operating in cold temperatures.

Most trailer manufacturers have a pretty long options list. Brute who built mine kinda specializes in custom trailers and can probably make just about anything a person would dream of.

anyone have a trailer that is a little more the 102in wide?

102 is the widest you can go without permits

Unless it's a custom built application or something for a specific purpose you won't find much. 102" (8.5') is legal width so unless you want to run with permits all the time it's going to cause you problems.

lol my trailer person Ive been talking to about axles is selling me bs hes saying my hubface should be 94in which puts me 1/2in over wide on each side and if i put -offset in the wheels i have 3/4in between the frame and the wheels..... but i drove by a local trailer dealer today and saw this trailer http://www.pjtrailers.com/detail.cfm?ID=T8#1 it is 22feet long and 96in wide deck for $6000. here's better pic http://modules07.dealercarsearch.com...spx?id=2084705.

really thinking of getting it and adding
- strobe
-winch
-slide the toolbox with the hyd. pump in it forward and put a truck toolbox behind it
-maybe redo the pump and add hyd. front jacks
-loading lights
-side turns
and calling it good

The PJ T8 is a nice trailer - I picked mine up in June. It wasn't too much mor to get it 102 wide. The extra width is nice, Pallets side by side, 4 wheelers side by side. I definately thought that it was worth the extra money for the extra space.

A family who does the truck pulling circuit with us has basically the same trailer they haul an 09 Chevy around on. Talked to them a couple weeks ago about it and they were very happy with it. I think theirs is 102" wide since he mentioned them hauling pallets of seed corn on it when it's not hauling the puller around.

you thing the 6in make that big of a differences

Depends on what you will be using it for. For me it absolutely does. My four wheelers are 48" wide - it would be tight on a 96 wide trailer (remember rub rails are included in the width). Plenty of room with a 102" trailer. I also want to be able to put my M105S kubota tractor up on it if necessary - same thing.

Try and figure out what you would be doing with the trailer (all possible scenarios) and go from there.
