Report
He lowered my 1965 military trailer installed a tounge jack and installed turn signals brake lights with LEDs. He was fast, reasonable, on price and willing to think outside the box so to speak. I went to another trailer company before Forester Fabrication and they told me to get a new trailer or spend 3-4 thousand fixing my trailer, which also would have changed my towing capacity to a lower amount. I am very happy with Forester Fabrication they made my trailer work with the strength it should have as a military trailer, and they saved me thousands of dollars.
