    The trailer is so low his air bags still won't drop it that low you can see his tyres are hitting the bottom of the trailer, wonder who left it that low anyway? What i'd do if the trailer was empty is see if you can just lower the landing gear or get someone else to help you wind it down however if its loaded forget about that idea, you'll need someone with a forklift or a crane just wrap a chain or strap around it lift it up, then drop the landing gear down.

    Say what you will, but it appears that this approach worked.

    Remember when men took things out back and settled the matter, instead of whining to the cops/HR/whatever? Seems like that was a far more polite and respectful time--there might be a connection.

    His frame is under it and that's all he needs with a truck with air bags. Dump the suspension, put blocks between frame and trailer, and let the air bags do the lifting.

    If you ain't skeered I don't see the problem. Just back under the thing. Only 1 side is touching.

    I don't drive for the money. But some days I need to start charging my employer extra.
