What about a step with load levelers?

Load levelers work very well. You would be able to haul more flat bed loads with load levelers. I suggest getting load levelers that can also be used as ramps. They run about $2,200.+-

Ditto what G-man said, everyone I tallked to that had a flat trailer wanted a step-deck too, n I would have made easily enough to have covered the extra expense, if I went step-deck flat from the beggining, if I could do it over, and not have ran the cheaper dry van rates.
