Time to renovate the 20ton tag trailer, and honestly hate the ramps so going to build wider ramps and want to make them air raise. I know some new trailers offer this however looking to renovate this trailer. Has anyone attempted this?

I attempted it and succeeded, alls it took was a trip to a local trailer dealer and a big check! :D In all honesty that's exactly what I did a few years ago and was the best thing I ever did. I can snap some pics of the underside of the trailer so you can see how it's set up. Fairly straightforward, they use air bags to raise and lower.

I made that suggestion to a customer of mine, however our business plan hasn't got to new trailer yet, our current ramps need work.

Pictures would be great.

A few years ago their was a similar conversation from someone else, but I cannot find it.
