    Don't forget to get ramp seats on the upper deck too..

    Oh, & I didn't realize they offered these ramp hangers with built in dunnage racks till it was to late. I'm going to have something similar to this added to my hangers here soon. Tired of unstrapping my dunnage to get at my ramps..

    Was able to get everything I needed minus the chains&binders at Marco’s truck tarps in Houston.They we’re out of them and so we’re Houston truck Tarps and all the other places were pricey.Found a trailer dealer in San Antonio that has them for a good price.I did end up buying the 2-8 foot drops the only thing was that Marco’s only had blue in stock and Houston had red and I wanted black but ended up with the blue ones since my truck is white&blue.The ramps I’ll get later on.Still need to build a height stick and the edge protector stick and also furniture pads.

    Honestly, I've yet to use them as levelers because I have a 28" drop & my kit is for a 20" drop. Need to order the 6" spacers, then with dunnage they should work. But it would look like this when setup..

    Here’s a copy of my original quote just so y’all can get an idea of their prices.Also just realized that I forgot to get coil racks smh.I did end up getting the 4” American and they only had 2” Chinese made.

    Helluva lot better than the TSC boxes I mounted on my truck. Those job boxes can take a beating.

    Honestly, I’d rather have one of those sitting on top of my deck than the aluminum side boxes that came with my trailer. Sure it may take up a little bit of space but that could be a good thing... would prevent me from overloading my trailer (not that THAT would ever happen lol).

    I actually just had to take one of my boxes in to a weld shop to get welded up because I had too much weight in it and it was cracking in the bottom corners. That could have ended badly. In fact I may show that to my boss and see if he will let me order one. Or should I just order one and not tell him?

    Headache rack would be my first priority, sure a simple double chain and binder with full length tray is 1000$, but id take a rack over a box if i had to choose one. Chain storage anywhere else is a pita
