Hey all, I just installed a new custom axle in my 7' MJ bed trailer and thought I would post up some pics for your enjoyment. I added one full length leaf to the pack, shifted the new axle back 1", made spring mount pads that sit TIGHT to the top of the new 3" axle tube and mounted the axle spring over. It sure did come out TALL! For the axle, I had my son make some spindle mounting adapters in high school shop class where a D44 front spindle will mount to one side and the axle tube will be welded in the other side. I cut the tube to give me a wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface of 60.5" to closely match the Jeep...which runs D44's front and rear in the six bolt flavor. All I can say is that is a TALL trailer! Jeff :jester:
