Swap from St tires to LT
I dont want to start another LT vs ST debate. I just wanted to show how i did the swap on my trailer.
I used lift block designed and machined for trailer axles with larger u-bolts to lift the axles 2 inches. Then i swapped the 14in wheels with 205/75R14 tires to 15in wheels with LT235/75R15 tires. These are the smallest LT tires i could find. I have put about 1000-1500 miles on it so far and i have not noticed any difference in how it pulls or rides. But i like the extra 800lb capacity thee tires provide and the higher speed rating. I also added a BAL tire carrier so i wouldn't damage the rear bumper.
My X-chocks still fit between the tires perfectly and i have zero clearance issues anywhere.
