Who makes the lowest stepdeck?

Isn't that only 2" lower than your current trailer? Keep your current trailer, just try to find freight that nobody else can take.

I'll have to do that. Wilson dealer who sold me my trailer said my design is identical to what the Wilson engineer was talking about. The only reason I didn't get the 34" height deck in the front and rear is because of my low fifth wheel. "If your fifth wheel was 49" high instead of 45.5", the deck would be lower," the dealer said. Evidently when the truck is too low, it doesn't help with the height of the trailer.

It has something to do with the load capacity of the trailer.

Still doesn't make sense, with a lower fifth wheel that would allow for more material over the kingpin making the trailer stronger.

I'm not surprised you don't get it. This is not brain surgery, this is more complicated. The dealer told me the 'lead time' - time it takes Wilson to build a new trailer - is 90 days

Yeah, this is an oldie.
BTW, we're supposed to take delivery of our 2nd one of these trailers this week.

BTT.
I'm researching what is the lowest deck height using 22.5" rubbers. I don't want the problems 17.5s bring. I could live with 36" deck height.
