what kinda axel is that under there? is it a drop axel or straight? tailer looks kinda low to me. Give her a splash of paint and make sure everything is upto snuff, brakes, lites chains etc and give her!
of the hop, I dont see the triple clearance lamps on the rear center of the trailer.. ur gonna need em if the the trailer is over 80" wide at its widest point ( yep, that includes the wheel wells)
Heres what u need for both canadian and US lighting requirements..

ya I have all new LED lights for it. and it has an 8000lbs axle brakes work great. it is a float trailer from factory so the axle is over the springs for a low profile..I need to do some weldin in of patches on the sheet metal on the sides but tows great. and is lite enough I don't need to cert it every year.

Single axle ok to tow a viechle? Does it have brakes? I think if your combined Weight of over 3500lbs your supposed to have trailer brakes. That kicks gotta be almost 3000lbs on its own. Although after seeing some of the trailers that show up a suzican, nothing surprises me. One guy towed up a sami on an snowmobile trailer behind an Olsmobile Olegra.

Holly shit, I would have thought more, my sami weights like 2300. Thats no roof, doors, bumpers and almost out of gas. I suspected a kick would be a fair bit heaviers. I guess the boggers do add some lbs to my sami.

I thought it looked like a 6000 lbs axel (I never even heard of an 8000). Those tiress are a pain in the ass to replace. I just so happen to have 4 extra tires with rims hubs and bearings I'm never gonna use. I changed all mine over to 8 bolt to match my dually years ago.
U can have my spare parts for beer and picking em up if u want. pm me

Don't quote me but I think 3000lbs trailer and load or higher requires trailer brakes. Sure doesn't take long to get to 3000lbs.

turns out it is a 6000lbs axle with brakes (electric) it surprizingly tows real easy behind my blaser. the trailer and kick combined r 3090lbs put in on the local mill scale and is legal to tow behind my blaser.
