AndreaLea,

Yes, the trailer is still for sale. There is one other person that sent a message earlier today that will have priority if they choose to buy.

Thanks for your inquiry, Rick

Does anyone know what model axle a 2011 5.0 SA has? Also, what is the proper way to jack up a single axle trailer to perform bearing and brake maintenance?

You brought up some things that I did not consider. The lift appears to be a 2-3" tall channel that is welded to the frame and the wheel has a 5 bolt pattern which means I would have to make more...

Would like to raise height of Escape 5.0 SA by going to a higher profile tire

My 2011 Escape 5.0 SA trailer tows a little nose up. I can lower the hitch, but the trailer will ride too close (5") to the bed rails, so I would like to go to a larger diameter tire and/or wheel....

Lagun mount in narrower 2011 5.0 SA

I was dubious about mounting the table with a Lagun in my narrow 5.0 SA because it would have to be mounted so far off center, but it works quite well. There was very little foot room with the double...

Chotch & Fox Hunt,

The width of the bed on my mid-size truck is about a foot less than the width of the trailer, so removing the tailgate wouldn't work. The width of the street in front of my...

Bob,

A slider hitch might work, but I have an Andersen hitch because I can't lift a slider any more. I used to have one in my earlier days and used it as you describe on some desert roads.

Dave & Kent,

Your proposed solutions would definitely do the job, but I'd have to sell the trailer to afford them. ;)

Ronn,

That might be a possible solution, but I'm not sure the hitch or bed rails could stand the stresses caused by an extension that is off center.

Ronn,

Your idea is a possibility except, as I see it, the ramps would have to be placed behind the front wheels just before the trailer starts to level off. This might limit the height of the...

Thanks for your responses. I do plan to take the I10. I have chains for my truck and will carry those, but not being in a hurry, I like the suggestion to wait for the storm to pass.
