Question:
I want to widen a flatbed trailer I have 8-10”. Are there any options to do this like wheel spacers? I don’t want to replace the axles if possible.

Hey Brandon, there is really only one way to widen the wheelbase and that's with longer axle. There aren't any wheel spacers like what you are looking for that can be used with trailers unfortunately.
