    Why do you want the shorter trailer?

    Ask a dealer. They will build pretty well whatever you want.

    Disc brakes and auto grease? Auto grease what, the landing gear?

    Might be like me and can't pull a standard box without being overheight. I'm 13'9" hooked to a van, and even if I swapped to LP22.5 tires, I'd still be 13'7". I'd have to buy a shorter 5th wheel, too...not to mention reprogramming the ECM and such for the altered wheel size.

    If I were looking to buy a box trailer, it'd be easier to buy a shorter trailer than it would be to alter my truck to pull a standard one.

    Not sure on the rest of the specs (dont have the sheet in front of me)but vanguard built mine the height that i wanted. Or at least to the height that the salesman told them to, guess thats why im 13'6.5. Made 2 calls and visited great dane and they acted like they didnt want to build me a trailer for me. Couldnt get anyone to call me back. Im sure about all of them will build what you want. And lije was mentioned earlier. The only grease fittings will be on the landing gear. Disk brakes have nothing to grease. I also have enough slider to get my spread to Comifornia length
