[BBGH]

did you have to add a spring leaf to keep that back end up with the weight of the dog box?

[beardog-treed]

New heavy duty coil springs and air springs as helpers, but really did not need the air springs with the new springs. works like a charm.

How many dogs can you get in just the bottom box ?

I'm planning on building a small box for my jeep too. I was thinking I could get 4 dogs in a small box filling up the back of the jeep like the bottom box you have. Then Rig 2 dogs from the Hood or 2 from the top of the box again like your bottom box.

depending on the size of the dog and how far your traveling, I can put 4 of my dogs in with no problem. I can also carry 3 up top with no problem with a total of 7 in the 2 boxes

Mine started out just the opposite of yours, mine was a rag top and ended up with a hard top. I only use it for dog hunting so I took and cut the back off, built a alum. flat bed then built the boxes and added a back and top to the cab, since this pic. I mounted the spare to the top of the cab. Here's a pic. Mike
