Sorry, but as illustrated in that link I'd never elevate just one low side tire on a dual axle trailer. Thumbs down from me. :(parker.rowe wrote:
Why not? Just curious.
One tire, axle, and suspension components are subjected to far more stress than the other tire, axle, and suspension components on the same side of the trailer, and for days at a time while you're camping. Why, when there's no need? :R
Interestingly, later that same link shows both tires properly elevated.
I agree with others in that I see no advantage whatsoever to this Hopkins kit when simply beveling the edges of the 2x achieves exactly the same thing. :S
Beveled edges LOL......I don't think I have ever had a campsite on paving as in those pictures. When you show up at the campsites we search out and have had a couple days of torrential storms beforehand you need to do what works. Fancy manufactured gizmos have never foot the bill. The one lynx cap notwithstanding.
