Aluminum flatbed spread- with or without lift axle?

[Poppa chop]

I pull a 53’ x 102” reitnouer all aluminum. Run Tx,La, MS and AR. Every so often pull a benson. I like the look and feel of the reitnouer. A couple of o/o did the poor mans lift axle on their benson. When you dump the air the front bags air down a good bit. They bypass air lines and ratchet up the axle. With less than $200 in parts including the ratchet strap and a little time they save tires. You can do the same on the reitnouer too.
As for trailers mine was used by jordan transport. Has box between the spread, dunnage rack and spare tire rack.
I know some prefer the box around the middle of trailer. Easier to work around the tires with the box out the way. Just my .02
