    What company makes a good low pro? If anyone has one, would they have bought or done anything different?

    Yes,I have some things that are 10-06 sometimes 10-08. Right now we can only legally haul 10-02. Looking to buy two trailers before the spring.Trying to do some research before hand.

    XL builds a very low trailer if you like steel and want to pay up for it. You can go as low as 30 inch deck height.

    Hey hors, are those 22.5s in that pic. Most of the lows I've seen run 17.5s.
