if i can build it similar to this set up with either 30 or 32s. which im really thinking about 32s to match my sxs. but will probably do a truck tire. at 30 inches my center point will be about 20 inches off the ground and probably could go more depending on how good i set up the suspension. which would be similar to my bike clearance. which is what im looking for. something im not dragging through every hole. about a 6 ft deck give or take.

actually thought about that. but its a little too heavy and too long. i think im going to run 2 link setup instead of dual control arms. im basing the size of the platform off my brothers polaris sportsman. but also be able to shove the tongue under my pinny on the 16 ft trailer.

Here's another alternative to consider:
It's a little pricier but larger and stronger then a HF trailer kit. The trailers are made by a trailer manufacturer in NC not Beijing.

Maybe an axleless torsion setup? You can mount to drop brackets at any height you want.

ihave one similar to that that my dad uses. we are constantly dragging the axle and it through everything. even got some tree kickers on it. but its not tall enough.

Ya, I realize that. It was just the first one I came across. I'm sure with a little looking, you could find a less pricey set.

I'll be watching this thread, very interested to see where you land...my needs are more simple, mostly just hauling firewood and any firewood-related equipment (chainsaws, chains, peaveys, axes, etc).
I just bought this 5'x8' hoss off a guy a couple towns over, he said the frame was welded on top of a Willys Jeep axle. I don't know one way or the other but I can tell you it's built like a brick s*** house:

I picked up this little 3x5 or so trailer for behind my 700-4. The guy said he towed it behind his Toyota Tacoma down the interstate all the time 😳. I personally wouldn't go faster than about 20mph with it.
Anyways, it has 4 lug 4 inch wheels on it, and since it needs new tires, I am going to put some ATV tires on it. Anyone have experience in finding some spacers or something to adapt the 4" lugs to ATV spacing?
Btw, I let my kids each pick a can of paint and go to town painting the trailer. They had an absolute blast doing it!

Looks like you have the same trailer frame I have, a Harbor Freight build your own type. Picked it up at a yard sale, guy said he pulled it behind a Corvette. I used the wheels that came with it, 4 on 4", but had to add spacers to clear ATV tires. Got those spacers online from a company that mainly deals with golf cart stuff. I threw some cheap Sun F's on it just to give it a look and a little more height.
my dad has one like that that he put tree kickers on so if he had to turn tight the trailer wouldnt hang on the tires. almost exactly that size but just old and wore out. and rednecked lolI picked up this little 3x5 or so trailer for behind my 700-4.
