    I was wondering how they lifted. Didnt think they would lift like a lift axle but never got to look at one real close.

    You can do it that way as well but a true jump jeep jumps up on your ramps. Mine isn't a jump jeep so I have to chain it up if I don't want to drag it. Problem with short jeeps like that is they are almost impossible to back up.

    Who did you order one from? There was a decent looking magnum in the last Edmonton richie sale but I didn't watch what it went for.

    there are not much use to go 4 axle trucks because u need to get enough space between the axles to get the weight up high enough per axle to make it a seperate grouping. You need to have 10' 1" between the rear axle group and anyother axle to get full 10,000kg for it.

    Keen runs jeeps but only 10 of them. Good for hauling most 50-70k loads but you really need 4-axle for more weight.
    Can not always believe the rumors of reducing 4-axles, keep adding more each year from what I see.

    I'm with keen and pull one of the 4 axle jeeps, tri axle beam trl with a tag axle when required. I have chains welded to the axle and to a steel plate with a knotch to chain the axle, then I just chain the jeep to the neck of the trailer, when you raise the neck then the jeep raises as well. You just have to remember the air bags on the jeep, lol
