    Tell them cowboy drivers you have to stop dumping that back axle...:biggrin_2559:.
    Mine was a 45'x96" eagle. On my Mac, and I think all Macs, the suspension is just bolted on with 4 bolts, East is the same. There might be 2 more bolts up underneither but I can't remember at the moment. This is just for the hangers.

    Right now its Mac. I really don't see anyone making a stronger built trailer. But alot depends on person preference and what your gonna haul with it.

    MAC!
    You can't be serious?
    I used to think there wasn't much of a difference between most of the top brands, Reitnouer, East, Mac ect until you own them. For hauling general freight they're all good, when you start upping weight the choices start falling off faster than the back of a Reitnouer.:biggrin_2559:

    i've had good luck thus far with transcraft,aside from the surface rust and rusted crossmembers. i'd love to have a reitnouer,but most owners want what they paid for them.lol

    one indicator is the spacing of the cross members. you can also get the vin , call the trailer mfg. and they will be able to tell you even more than the owner.
