Okay so it begins, had 2 solid axles made up with a 45mm drop (trailer will be used to carry 2000kg bobcat, jeep as well as being a tipper), so need to keep cog low as possible , both axles have electric brakes, also have rocker springs mudguards and coupling, using 100x50x4mm rhs for main chassis, cost so far for axles, brakes, coupling, mudguards, rocker springs and 3x8m of rhs is $2885 trying to keep cost under 8k , soon as we find our camera i will start to post pictures.
