sides being welded

tyres to close to spring hangers...going to change the offset of the rims and put the axles on top of the springs....ooopppps....NOTE make sure you have clearance between the tyres and spring hanger...trailer is over 600mm to top off bed...this problem could be alleviated by ordering the axles longer

The ho har's:D
All going well it seems! :)
Outside the overall weight issue, the main comment I would make is that I wouldn't have welded on the suspension set before I worked out the balance point of the completed deck, any sides, ramps stowed, spare wheel/s and any toolboxes fitted.

looks awsum
Looks great.
Someone has access to a nice big workshop :-)
You don't need that much head on the bolt anyway.
I have some axles sitting waiting for someone to get their act together and get the welder out. I also want a multi purpose tipping trailer big enough (weight rating) to recover a 4x4 legally.
Love these project threads, ideas and inspiration.
