[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 435746, member: 22374"] Great job it looks excellent and some creative ideas used! My trailer is also too high for my boat. I see you put your bunks lying flat on the cross pieces. Great Idea. You must have lost a few inches by losing the bunk mounting hardware with the 2x4's lying flat. I would lose about 3 1/2" doing this. A question? How did you attach them to the frame? Did you countersink the holes in the wood and bolt them from the top, or lag bolt them from the bottom, or just use galvanized carriage bolts with the low rounded head from the top and carpet over the heads? Also moving the axle to the top of the springs I figure to get me another 1" lower. My wheels are 5.70-8 (18") 5 lug so I can't go lower than that without changing the wheels and tires too and then I'd only only lose 1.5" for the cost and effort. [/QUOTE]
