    Mine too. NY wrote me a ticket on I-81 a few months ago for being over 43 ft.

    Might be for the best if you at first keep a eye on that rear lift if the tires don't drag from time to time.
    If they do,there is a easy fix for it.

    Theres a second leveling valve on there to jack up the ride height a bit when it's up :D

    Is there an easier way that will allow a guy to run legal height? Eventually I'd like to add some air over electric solenoids to the trailer and control it all in the cab. I dont think I'll ever get around to it though, at least not until my Volvo stops falling apart

    Good. :)
    Adding a small airpiston to the leveling valve rod also works.;)

    Got a new 53’ Wilson drop deck last summer & I can’t say enough good about it. Fit &finish is top notch & seems plenty stout for years of abuse. Many trailers are but I paid $10,000 - $15,000 less than a similar spec Mac

    That’s nice. If it was a spread without the 3rd axle I would be in love. Wonder what the weight of the trailer all said and done is.
