If you are planning on a custom open trailer, you may want to consider the following:

* At least 3,500lb axles. 5,000lb wouldn't be a bad idea.
* Open middle deck so you can work on the car from under the trailer. But that may compromise how low you can go.
* I had one built to accept a 2'x2'x6' construction site tool box. May need some trimming to the "feet". But most fuel jugs fit, they have a very durable epoxy coating, weather proof and are very secure. Lots of storage. Maybe a 4' would be enough, but a 6' helps protect the car from rocks kicked up by the tow truck.
* Slight down angle at the rear to help loading and reduce ramp length.
* Get a heavier duty version than you think you need. Better in the long run.
