[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 435847, member: 22374"] In order to start addressing this, I ordered some 16" wheels / tires. Losing the bunk brackets and setting 2x4's sideways will help a lot too. I "think" I know the reasons the makers use bigger wheels is to keep revs down on the bearings, but I don't travel more than a few miles and am not worried about bearing issues with smaller wheels. If I did travel with it, I could always put the 18" wheels back on. Anyway, my axles are under the springs, I "thought" that putting the axle on top of the springs gave you less ground clearance and a lowered bunk set? I have to look at that again. [/QUOTE]
