    I have an opportunity to buy one of these trailers for very little money. Wasn't planning on building/buying a trailer but became interest because of the price. Looking for opinions on if this is a viable option. I realize some modifications would need to be done. Is something like this too big to trailer behind my 2011 DCSB V6 4x4?

    Changing to a 6-lug axle would save lots of weight and give you 2 extra spares.

    Did you end up buying the trailer? I picked on up for pretty cheap, and am debating swapping axles and possibly removing the deck before I turn it into a camper.
