I looked and looked for a trailer to fit my needs and budget and couldn't fine one...all the top manufacturers want at least 60 to 80k for the ultimate boondock trailer ..so I bought the 17 4HB for like 8k and sinking about 25k into it...that way I can customize what I want and don't want...so far everything is working out and if i need to upgrade the axle and springs I will..Ill be taking alot of pics here shortly.. thanks for the help

Better check axle capacity.

Heck yeah man! Love the look of a gently lifted F150 on some mudders. A man after my own heart. I have a wife and 2 kids and a big Rotti that accompany me, so my trailer needs are a little different, but I'm all set up for the boondocking life minus the lifted trailer. Great job, good write ups, nice truck and trailer combo!
