Hey all -
I just finished putting new axles on my trailer. I couldn't find axles the right length that weren't drop type (shopping at Northern tool) so I bought a pair with a 4 inch drop. Thanks to advice here, I adjusted the spring pads for them and mounted them correctly.
However, they're drop axles... I hadn't really calculated it out before, but I think the ground clearance on the lowest part of the trailer is now about 6 inches. It's a steel crossbar. It's not likely to be a problem durability wise, but does anyone know if there's a minimum legal height for a trailer in MN?
I got the brakes and hubs installed last night too.. I still need to put on the tongue swing, coupler, lights, break-away, wiring... but it's all coming together now
