[QUOTE="joshwho?, post: 1386574, member: 13783"] The military trailers have hand parking brakes on them (one for each wheel) and the m116a2 I have piviots right about where the front spring eyes are once the 1/2"x4' bolts at the very front of the deck area are taken out and replaced with pins that can be removed. Then once the trailer is "converted" to tilt you just use the hand brake to tilt it up or down by setting the brake and backing up until it's tilted to your desire. Then when you want to tilt it back down you just drive forward, but the pins back in and release the brakes. It's as simple as that. I think that wouls be a very easy way to convert any trailer to tilt deck (provided you can control the braking (I wouldn't reccomend just using an electric trailer brake controller to apply the brakes, because the trailer can roll back at ramdom once the brakes are released (like once you get a load winched up towards the front of the trailer deck)) :hi: [/QUOTE]
