[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 241446, member: 6694"] Hi folks, got a question about a trailer I am "inheriting". The current springs are 27", and I can only find 24-25" and 30", slipper type. The shackles are 25" apart. The springs and axle are rotted, but the rest of the trailer is sound. The question... would it be safe to cut the undercarriage (angle iron about 30" long) and move the two halves apart to fit 30" spring packs. I am on a tight budget and like to save the $75+ for new galvanized undercarriage pair if possible. My trailer is rated for 1250#, but my rig will only run around 800@ maximum. [/QUOTE]
