[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 501046, member: 16767"] Yes. The trailer is light duty. The 1751 was < 400 lbs empty when new. I removed the short bunks. I’m going to install some 8’ bunks. I don’t know what happened to the trailer before I bought it, but the original cross bar is missing (it should be where red line is), and a rusty steel bar is welded slightly forward of where it should be, and it’s crooked (higher on the left). See blue circles, it’s lower on the right side. Basically, I need to cut the rusty crossmember out, and weld in a new one, where my red line is in my picture. This will move the main bar aft, shortening the trailer. By shortening the main bar, it provide less leverage, lessening the tendency to sag. [/QUOTE]
