    What’s the difference between the stairs and steps?

    Ya nice but it looks like those stationery winches stick out a little past the rub rail, correct?

    That is a stock photo. I have a 48 spread. I just used that to show the steps. For whatever reason I can't upload photos. I will find a stock photo of what I have.

    See the pics. One is stairs and the other is steps. One you have to climb straight up (steps). The other you just walk right up (stairs). I think the stairs are alot easier and safer. Why climb when you can walk?

    This is pretty much what mine looks like. except where the inner 4th tail light is, I have yellow flashers instead. I have a front lift and tire inflation aswell.
    I have posted many pics of my trailer on here in the flatbed load pics thread.

    Depends on what kind of work your doing. Around me most of the o/o steel haulers are going MAC or East or Extreme then Reitnour. Reitnour was the hot setup 10 years ago but now guys will get them because they are a little cheaper than the others listed above. These are guys hauling coils so if you're doing general purpose freight then it's not as big of a deal.

    I can’t speak from experience but I have talked with several guys with the Extreme and all have said it like to twist and doesn’t feel like it would last

    Again
    No personal experience

    Alot of pnw guys have them. Alot really depends on the axle spread. Idaho actually has an idaho axle spread. Frigging stupid.
