I checked with Dexter, manufacturer of many trailer parts, and according to them there should be at least 1 inch of space between the tires when under load. So once your trailer is loaded and ready to tow, if you have more than 1 inch of space…

Explore the Versatility of 74 Inch Spring Center Trailer Axles with Leaf Spring Suspension
Discover the perfect balance of strength and flexibility with trailer axles featuring a 74-inch spring center and leaf spring suspension. Ideal for heavy-duty hauling, these axles ensure smooth rides and easy installations, making them a favorite among trailer enthusiasts.
A 74-inch spring center provides a wider stance, enhancing stability and weight distribution. This setup is perfect for larger trailers, ensuring a smoother ride and better handling, especially when carrying heavy loads.
Leaf spring suspension is known for its durability and ability to handle heavy loads. It offers a simple, reliable design that absorbs road shocks effectively, making it ideal for rough terrains and long hauls.
Installation is straightforward with pre-mounted spring seats. Ensure proper alignment and torque the U-bolts to the recommended specs. Many find the process quick, often taking less than an hour, thanks to the user-friendly design.
These axles enhance performance by providing better load distribution and improved braking efficiency. The combination of a 74-inch spring center and leaf spring suspension ensures a smoother, more controlled ride.
Regular greasing and checking for wear are key. Inspect the leaf springs and U-bolts periodically, and ensure the bearings are clean and well-lubricated. This routine maintenance keeps your trailer running smoothly and extends axle life.
