Restoring an older 28 ft.Boat Master aluminum tandem trailer, and an odd original design has me searching for answers/advice here. The trailer has 2 main aluminum I beams running front to back. They run parallel to each other from the back of the trailer toward the front for about 12 feet, then as usual they angle in towards the front hitch forming the typical V shape. The issue with this trailer is that the I beams also bend downward by design after this 12 ft area, which leaves the tongue wanting to sit quite low to the ground to keep the bunk area level. If i raise the tongue more than 10-11 inches off the ground, the front set of tires starts to come off the ground...not good when thats the axle with the brakes installed. Anyone know why it would have been designed like this? I have a new Ram truck with the ball mount over 20 inches off ground. I can get a drop down ball mount to help some, but i think i will have to add shims to the front axle to get that set of tires to sit slightly lower than rear axle. Any ideas with this type of trailer? I should add that this is without a load on. The aluminum is actually quite flexible and i can get the tires to touch ground by jumping on it in this location, so do i assume it will be okay under load?
