The width is 8ft on the inside of the sides the length is 17ft the total length is 21ft. Btw the sides either let all the way down or you can slide out the arms and they will lay flat making your trailer another 3 ft wide
trailer
It's a m989, they use it for hauling ammo or rocket pods i think.
My next question for you guys is whats a good price to sell one at, I odnt know the value for this, ive done research with no results... Now if only i had more money when they auctioned this they sold 14 of them :(
insurace
I did mine through geico in GA I just told them it was a medium duty truck and called it a M35A2 told them it was 13000 pounds thats it and they insured it for 40 a month no problems at all the coverage is liability and its 30k/30k
Just got my trailer from the base, she pulled great.. nice and smooth, the air brakes worked out alright. No leaks found anywhere.
I cant believe I got her for 1300 out the door!! Now time to title it and sell it, I hate to see it go but I really have no use for one of this size.
Oh yea and I...
I was using a large pry bar trying to separate the suspension and the frame... bad idea as it slipped out and smashed my face in lol... this was about 3 mins after it happened.

truck bed
Ah cool a local person come by anytime just shoot me a PM. Good question about the beds. The trailer bed was the hardest to get off. The way its brackets are it can't just slide off. So I tiped it up and basicly fliped it off the side easier said than done with no help. The trucks bed...

Ok my first day of work. I only have hand tools and the sweat of my back for this job. I know its going to be some work haha.
Well at the close of day on I had to do some things that were stupid and probly dangerous! But sometimes you have to get it done.
Four hours a wrench, grinder, air drill...
I had thought of removing the other half of the spring all together, but I was unsure of what that would do. I know the layers of the spring do slide a bit. But as I said before if it worked it would be allot stronger than the trailer springs and would have no wrap or roll. Do you have any...
I thought if you used the trailers frame under the deuce frame it gave it the correct stance...
Or do you just attach the springs from the trailer directly to the deuce frame??
reply
So by holding the srping where it would normaly rest on the rear axle is going to make the front more rigid? Well I do have the trailer to do it the other way with. Thanks for the input. I didn't know if anyone had tried this way before.
This is the first post I have done so be gentle.
I have a question about bobbing my deuce. I don't know a good way to explain this but in the rear you have two tandem axles. the spring sits in between them.
Would it be possible to remove the rear axle and make some kind of brace to come down off...
