Looks great. It's insane how low the trailer was before the lift.
We did the lift on our Sportsmen 2505 last year and am so glad we did. The install wasn't bad and we now clear our driveway when backing in. It does raise the COG, but I haven't noticed any negative handling, but I'm never racing around while towing.
The only negative is the stair height, but the previous owner ripped the bottom step off before we bought the trailer. We needed to replace the steps anyway and I now have a 3 step unit in the garage awaiting installation. If we didn't lift the trailer I would have continued using a plastic step, so I'm actually glad this forced me to finally fix it right.
