    Yes I do. The stacks were leaning toward passenger side it’s why I did winches from driver side. The mesh was fine.

    What I don’t like are the long racks as I feel they can lean easily, especially since these are used racks and not new as I don’t trust the banding. I wanted to do an under-over-under belly wrap but my 30’ strap was too short. I need to buy a couple long ones.

    Sorry 4 the late response. All the lights have a aluminum ring around them with three rivets. So far since I purchased this trailer new in 2018 I've never busted one. Really would be hard to secure most things with straps, without going over the lights. Unless i wanted to use lots of ratchet or pocket winches. They stick out probably as far as the picture Kshaw posted.

    And when chaining I'd say, 98% of the time I use the J-plates unless the material goes over the slot for them, which is pretty rare, so rarely have to worry about the chain hitting them.
