Re: Question about leveling trailer
BarneyS wrote: I am not a tire engineer or any kind of engineer but I do know that the ends of the springs work in concert with each other and the hight of the ends relationship with each other has an effect on how the wheels act - something to do with "rake and trail" or something like that. I would check with a frame shop or trailer builder to find out before making any kind of change like you propose. Barney Something to think about. Thanks for that. More than likely, I will leave things the way they are.355Views0likes0CommentsQuestion about leveling trailer
New to forum...hoping someone can answer my questions. So, I just completed a spring over axle conversion on my fifth wheel (converted to gooseneck) and wondering if I can move one end of each leaf spring, higher up into the hanger, by drilling new holes. I realize that would only lower the trailer one half of the distance...I plan on moving the holes 1 3/4" higher, effectively lowering the trailer 7/8". Will this have any adverse consequences? I can't mover the center shackle up any higher. I'm scared of screwing something up. Lol. Thanks for any insight.2.1KViews0likes7Comments
