    I was working on that Sun Country trailer. It is really good product.

    But I cannot still get it how one axle on the trailer works so hard. No overweight?

    Mine was tandem. Note: I was permitted for 14' up, 4' rear OH, and no restrictions on the front over hang (trailer). Tractor was HD F'Liner M2

    Trucko, the trailers that I had ordered (eight) at the same time were built to a lightweight spec, No upper deck, no crank down landing gear, .188 tubing instead or .250, aluminum wheels, 30" kp setback, no chain hangers, no unnecessary brackets, or hooks, but still has heavy gauge deck and heavy gauge rear shotgun along with some other things we cut the weight of that trailer from 13,800 to 11,400, so in 99 out of a 100 cases, no, not over weight, close sometimes, but very rarely over.

    Now, if you were to take just an off the shelf 4 car, yes, probably over more often.

    Did you pay extra for the custom specs?

    Roughly the same price, biggest issue with SC is the wait time to order new. Also not sure just how much they will stray from their standard spec if you are only ordering one.
