Trying to figure out the layout at this stage of the build. I can see why struts and strut bars are generally a poor idea idea for trailers. I want to use the nice flat subframe to chassis mounting surfaces, but annoyingly this raises the floor maybe 6 inches up from when ground is, making the strut bar too low for tires or fuel jugs to fit underneath it.

At this stage, I’m mainly wondering how to tie the top of the struts to the subframe along with placement of the trailer frame.
