This can be used on other trailers, but this is specific to "Carson". This took me about 6 hours to get it all buttoned up and ready for paint. Now that it can be seen complete, should only take half that time. Use hot dipped galvanized Carriage Bolts/Nuts/Washers. I added a 1/4" piece of plate steel as a ramp. Which added a substantial amount of weight to my tailgate. So I had to have this lift. Works Great!
