I rebuilt my dual axle trailer.. I bought two new axles , two new sets of hubs and new springs, and bushings and bolts. ought 2 new tires and used a pair od oldies that were lying around...just to get it set up... I have taken only two trips with the boat and trailer rigged up. about 300 miles max..... I am getting scupping on my new tires and one of the older tires that had very little tread is just about completely bald in just 300 miles.... the spring mounts are on a sliding bracket that allows you to adjust the axle placement to set up tounge weight. so there is ONLY the few holes to choose from and you can easily tell if one side is off a complete set of holes!! (that's like 12" or more). the only thing that is different is the equalizer... the originals were shot and the parts place didn't have the exact style....so I replaced with something close. On the last trip I specifically made sure the tire pressure was equal all around......so why am I shaving rubber off the tires so fast???
