It would be much heavier than a standard tube axle, even probably more than a solid tube, there are disadvantages to Independent suspension. When an independently sprung wheel rolls over a high point (e.g.) a rock, the centre of the trailer moves closer to the ground, with a live type suspension (beam axle & 2 springs) the opposite occurs, that why non independent Discos will go anywhere your game to go, I believe in the KISS theory, you're not likely to find parts for an independent suspension outside of the city limits, Regards Frank.Originally Posted by walker

SubscriberAfter a Few Late inspirational threads on AULRO with members building their own trailers , I've also decided to jump on the band wagon and build my own off-road trailer , I'd like know if anyone here has any plans similar to an offroad trailer Andy built , my primary reason is also for carrying Firewood as mate has a big property down at Robertson and has offered me free firewood ??
thanks in advance
P.S is it worth my while to build my own Trailer or buy a trailer ?

mate i am looking to turn my 130 crew cab tub into a trailer and have seen these axles, i heard they never have problems with them and can do electric brakes also, check out their website
AL-KO Kober - full line axle and brake manufacturer
not sure on prices but they are independent so should be good.

Guys,
Here is a description of my camping trailer (pics soon).
Holden Rodeo 4x4 chassis, cut adjacent the pedals, cut and welded into an A frame with a T setup running forward to the towhitch. Rodeo leaf springs and soft shocks.
AU ute tub, checker plated front end,
HD axle, with 6 stud rims.
I'm going to change the hubs to Range Rover stud pattern, but i do not know anyone who makes them. Can anyone help?
I was thinking of trying using some front hub assy's fitted with bearings to suit the stubs on the trailer.
Cheers
Chris

Any auto shop can set them in.
Just the studs are 9/16 (LC) not Rover studs.
I changed mine over to Rover studs, but they are shorter.
Now found longer studs from the UK for next time.
You just need to know if your trailer axle uses Holden or Ford bearings.

The Ford bearings (sometimes called Slimlines) can carry heaps more weight. Trailers upto 2 tonne GVM can use holden bearings, but over that you need the bigger bearings.
