Question about TT suspension
Hi all, another question. I have a Keystone Passport Ultra Light, 24 1/2' box, 27' total length. It has tandem axles with the load equalization (I think that's what it's called?) axles.The dry weight ...

I find it odd that an accepted method of flat tire repair is to pull the TT up on blocks under one axle so that the flat tire is suspended in air. No one seems to have a problem with that, yet, suspending wheels for less than two feet at very low speeds produces preditions of dire results.
I don't see it as that much of a big deal, quite frankly.
Very poor scenario compared to what the OP suspension/trailer frame is going through.
The OP front axle/tires are completely off the ground which is nothing at all like a ramp under one tire to raise the tire next to it. This leaves the trailers frame un-supported where the chassis engineers required two axles for the frame. Not only unsupported but now it has the weight of one axle just hanging adding even more stress to the trailers frame. Keep in mind this isn't a one shot deal but maybe happen many times a year.
Guess we read different forums/threads as everyone is not on board with ramping one tire to raise another....myself included.
Hmmmmm.....another good point. I think the next time I put it in the driveway I will try it at an angle. Maybe that way the axles might articulate enough to where only 1 wheel might be off the ground at any given time, that way there are still 3 wheels supporting it.
