I Probably am going to put a standart hitch on it, just down the road a little though, and Im going to weigh it after I cut all the stuff off because the actual floor is just wood, the heaviest part of the trailer is the sides which im cutting off, and the gooseneck which will be gone latter. This trailer will not be used that offten only to take the car to races and so on, maybe 50 miles round trip.

yes I have lol, Before I started anything I put all the building materials on it and it didnt even start to compress the springs at all yet, the trailer itself is homade and was built pretty strong, it used to be used to haul 4wheelers around on

Exactly what I was thinking.

Oh and you need to do a little spring cleaning in the garage! The trailer looks like it's coming along nicely though.
