My version of the M105a2

About 1 month ago I bought a m105a2 to use a general utility trailer ( also to get a plate for a titleless 5x8 normal utility trailer ). After getting the trailer home I went on a crazy online search on how to make them more pickup friendly mainly lower and brakes. So this is what I ended up with with out spending much money as I had most of the parts laying around.

- converting 24v lights to 12v truck wiring
- Adding 3" spacer to sping shackle mounts to allow enough space to go axle over spring.
- latest is adapting a surge brake tongue to be able to put the brakes to use. (Still waiting for reverse lockout solinoid to come in to do brake lines)

what I have ended up with is a very pickup friendly m105 without losing the m105 look ( was my main goal )

The axle will hit the Frame before the tires hit the wheel wells. I am making a bump stop for the axle and I never see myself even getting close to capacity weight but once it's done I will be putting it through its paces so I know its limits
