haha, sorry am having trouble getting pictures to load....[
My Rubicon's lifted with a 4 inch short arm kit and 285x75xr16s. I ordered the trailer with the same wheels and tires, and a 3500lb axle. Upon arrival, it didn't sit very level with my jeep, which was dissapointing. It would have been worse if I'd had a Class III receiver hanging down behind the rear bumper instead of the Garvin bumper which has the 2" receiver built right into the bumper. The trailer's swivel lunette slides into the front of the trailer in a 2" receiver style, allowing it to be removed for security purposes or changed to a different style of hitch. I've since modified the front of the trailer so it sits more level.

Overview
Nevertheless, I loaded the trailer and Jeep (total weight 6,500 lbs) and headed from Western Washington towards North Dakota on January 5th as part of a relocation to Louisiana. I'll try to break the review down into several key features:
1) Overall workmanship (paint, welds, engineering, etc)
2) Towability (on and off road)
3) Special features (lockable lid, hitch)
4) Customer service
5) New modifications

Unless you are from LA and are homesick... I can almost guarantee you will not like the state. What part of Louisiana are you headed?
Great looking trailer! Matches the jeep well!
