Raising an older trailer
I have a 1975 Terry 21' bumper pull trailer.
I have not decided what I will do to it. It is old, and the floor is rotten. I know I might be able to replace it.
If I am to keep it, I need to get it higher off the ground.
The axle is not the issue, the bumper is. On one of my favourite trails into a great camping site, the rear of the trailer ends up dragging.
Can I simply unbolt the u-bolts, drop the axle below the springs, and then put new u-bolts on?
I know, they sell kits, but I am wondering if I could just do it the way above?
