Re: 16' or 18' car hauler?
[ QUOTE ]
99% of the time, the dovetail is going to be the same length. on a 16' trailer you have 14' flat + 2' dovetail ... on 18' you have 16' flat + 2' dovetail. but you can special order anyway you like, most trailer mfg. will build to suit. a "true" car hauler is built lower so bottoming out usually isn't an issue.

Around here trailer dealers have 2' and 4' dovetails all the time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
My tubbed and narrowed race car is pretty low and did scrape on my buddies 16' with 2' dovetail. Not on the 18 w/ 4' dovetail. Guess I need to raise my racecar. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
