I would like to ask the same question as the original post.
Anyone have positive or negative feedback on Integrity Trailers QUALITY??
The trailer itself, not any LQ's workmanship please. I do realize they are closed. Want to know how they held up overall as I'm looking at a used one. Just because the business closed does not mean they didn't make a quality product I feel. We found this out decades ago with the old Miley Trailers and had no problems. But would like first hand input!

I think Integrity made one of the best trailers on the market. What took them out had nothing to do with the quality of the product. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Good friend owns/runs a conversion company. He worked with an Intergrity dealer back east on numerous trailers. He liked the overall design and features, but he said they were the most difficult ones to convert to a LQ as nothing was ever square, or the same. One example that he showed me was the bulk head wall on the gooseneck was somehow over 3/4" out of square---and marginally plumb to the floor. Also, the uprights were quite often not equal distant apart or square. Never seemed to have a problem getting them sold. All the doors seemed to work fine and seal but ? Never seen any tire wear issues. Had a few that had to go back to the factory for a few minor issues (one was the foldout step, that didn't--welded wrong), but they are a very solid built trailer IMO. He said he would be hard pressed to look at owning one......

Integrity trailers
at one time there is no doubt that it was the best rig on the road. I would buy one right now. The problem is if there are body problems material will become an issue

Looked at an '06 4 Star today, their wall braces are not on an even spacing either. And this one had an "offset" bulkhead wall which is built out of plumb to give more stance room to the front horse. When a manufacturer changes design or materials your trailer becomes obsolite doesn't it? So if you need something down the road its still a custom fabrication even with them still in business? After all none of them made their own aluminum. But I see your points.

We used to be Integrity dealers...and we thought they were a very nice trailer for the money.... Their floor braces are on 6" centers, and the polished aluminum and stainless top rail were very showy. They have a very nice floor. Our biggest problem was with the latches on the dividers. The saddle racks from Saddle Boss broke often...but Saddle Boss stodd behind them and then fixed that problem. The sheets on the sides are held with 3M tape and we did see a couple of them loosen a little, but we easily fixed them. They are a great pulling trailer...easier than most because of the axle placement. I don't think they compare in quality to a Platinum, Elite, 4-Star or C&C, but they were a good value for a middle of the road trailer...then they had quite a few price increases which put them in a very high price bracket where they couldn't compete. That's when we made the decision that if we were going to sell a high end trailer, we would keep the Platinums and we had to let Integrity go...strictly on price vs quality. I don't think you can go wrong with a used one if the price is right on it.
