[QUOTE="86tuning, post: 475293, member: 23006"] repositioning some stuff will often allow larger trailer tires, which spin more slowly at the same highway speed. If stuff is in good shape, I wouldn't worry too much. Just service the hubs and pack fresh grease in it at least once a year. If you use a brightly coloured grease that isn't black, it's easy to see if the grease is still good by popping off a hub cap. Also, consider the dollies used by tow truck operators, they often put tremendous amounts of weight on the four little wheels when there's a big SUV on it! It's good to be aware of these issues, but if everything is in good shape, just send it! [/QUOTE]
