    Planning on ordering a new all aluminum flatbed trailer.

    What are the 'nice' things you wish you had on your flatbed or that you do have and would never want to be without?

    Some things i'm pretty sure I will get:
    -coil package
    -box on both sides
    -super singles/w tire inflation system
    -disc brakes
    -spread axle
