How to Move Axles to Under Leaf Springs for 2.2K Dexter Axle
Question:
Hello! I currently have a Tractor Supply utility trailer with a 2200LB Dexter cambered axle on leaf springs. Id like to mount the axle underneath the springs to allow for bigger tires and such. Do you have a recommendation set of parts for that? Im assuming Ill need a set of spring perches as well as new u-bolts and mounting hardware.
