FYI: My enclosed 20' trailer with dual 5200 lb torsion axles is over 3000 lbs empty. You will find that a quality 10K lb trailer doesn't just have heavier axles, but also a heavier frame. If shopping for an enclosed trailer, make sure door opening height clears your Jeep (you may need to order a 7' or 8' high model).
Trailer is a big Tex, I still had the cheap Chinese Tires on it. Also I only had a four inch drop hitch at the time so the trailer was running high, all that could have been a contributor..
I have decided I am going with a 20ft open equipment trailer that has two 5080 lb axles. They are $3500 new so not too bad. I will have that behind an Arctic Fox 992 and use a super truss to clear the camper. I am not that concerned with an enclosed trailer. Most the time it will only have the jeep on it. Jeep is a 97 TJ for now. Thank you everybody.
