Just a thought. Can someone get their TT modified to have the 'spread axle setup'? Is it ok to do so if done at truck/trailer suspension repair shop? Or is it Not recommended?
Almost anything can be done for a price. Why change a setup that has less scuffing and should have been built with a heavy enough frame from the factory for proper support?
Check out large trailers on semi trucks. The rear tandem duals are close together on "most" of the trailers. They will spread them out for special loads, but it is relatively uncommon.
If spreading the axles are such a great idea, why not spread them out another foot or two. If wide spread axle placement is "really good" than futher apart should be "even better"!!! It isn't.
These manufacturers that use the wide spread axle placement are probably doing it to spread the load on their frame. It saves them money on a frame that may not have enough support with the axles close together.
