If it's new have them put the boxes forward of the axles. They just get in the way of working on stuff or inspecting stuff when they are between the axles.
Highway Sailor, stwik and ford06 Thank this. -
They make a good wagon. Used to live right down the road from the plant. I personally think they make one of the best on the road.
ford06 Thanks this. -
I would put the dump valve on the back axle, and a lift on the front axle.
Highway Sailor, daf105paccar, villageidiot and 4 others Thank this. -
yes i ment to say dump on the rear axle do you think it would be worth putting a full lift front axle ive had the rear dump before helps on turns and tight spots never had a full lift axle though
-
It saves a lot of wear on your tires if you run around empty very much.
ford06 Thanks this. -
The doors always seem to get wrecked on the ones between the axles too.
-
What are you doing to wreck them?Roger McG, Oscar the KW, mtoo and 1 other person Thank this. -
Its just seems like every other one you see they look like the door came open going down the road or something. I haven't ever pulled one, simply an observation.

I have pulled spread axles with boxes between the spread for years, and what's more, I pull steps with boxes between the spread and mounted low.
Never had any issues.
I have one box mounted on my new flatbed it directly in the middle. Because the rear axle slides forward and therefore I can't mount something between the axles.
If you drive around with toolboxes open and crashing into things you'll have problems no matter where you mount anything.
I'm far from the best trailer trucker out here n I ain't having problems.
