LeRoy Engineering here also.
Multi link with adjustable coilovers. Tracks smooth and straight.
Had it shipped from Ohio, broken down kit.

They ship the whole thing in a very large crate. Mostly assembled. Just bolt on the tongue, the wheels and the license plate, and you are good to go. Taking apart the crate took longer than assembly...

When you say "bolt on the tongue" is that the large circular part shown in the pic above? Do you bolt that to the back of the car, and if so does that require any modification of the car? Do you need a hitch installed on the car prior to purchase?

Thanks for the great info to date!

The tongue is the skinny straight piece coming off the trailer that attaches to the car. Yes, you need to have a hitch installed on your car before you can use the tire trailer. Depending on the car you might need to modify the car to fit the hitch. For the wilwood hitch on my 996tt I had to drill a few holes in the bumper beam and cut a hole in the bumper cover.

Here's one you have not heard yet. Invest heavily on anti - theft protection. Mine was stolen a month ago.

I put a hitch on my 718 GT4 from guru racks. Built 5hr trailer from a 4x4 northern tool trailer. One tool I wood at to your list are torque sticks.

Now you have me wondering what torque sticks are and what benefit do they provide?

Thx-

It limits the amount of torque your impact wrench will tighten your lug nuts to a specific torque setting. Allows you to use your impact wrench to insall your nug nuts, without risk of over tightening.
