No problem with top of tire clearance. This TT is a tandem axle, and was built a little higher anyway. A 1.5 inch drop didn't bother it a bit....snip
I would confirm your actual tire clearance under loaded conditions. The Eagle is a heavy TT and had I put on the actual Dexter EZ-Flex Equalizer my tire clearance would have dropped from a standard 3" to 2". I have to had 2" to my center hanger bracket to maintain 3".
I agree with John, if you are running a 2" clearance or less, tire rub is very possible. I called Dexter Tech Support and they said that a 3" clearance is required with the axles supplied on my 2005 Jayco Eagle to insure that the tires won't hit the top of the fender well.
