Not knocking the design, but from experience, you might want to sheath the front leading edge with diamond plate or something similar because on a trip to Alaska, I found that the dust particles will eat right through the paint.

Even a metal gas tank on a vehicle can wear through.

Thanks for the advice, I used Raptor bedliner to cover the trailer.

Should look into timbren axless systems if you havent, they are independent but arent a torsion design. We use them on all our trailer builds and have yet to have a single issue no matter what i drag them over.

Thanks for your advice, I been looking at them, but I think I will be building one just like the Turtleback trailers use.

I have Timbrens on our trailer and they work great for clearance. Just make sure to repack those wheel bearings every season.
