It was out of alignment, bent axel. Got my new one in tonight and they blew it , they changed the drop that we discussed because the guy building it said what I asked for wouldn’t work. I guess I’m smarter than there axel guy. Axel fit great, just need too downsize too 10 inch tires , FML

Took it off, standens mon morning, day 6 of my 7 day warranty

LBZ · May 10, 2019

What would happen if you were to flip it and put it on top of leafs? Would it still not fit?

catmando · May 10, 2019

There is a front and top decals on the axel and for what I paid it’s getting fixed. If I flip it it will lift the trailer at least 4 inches over stock. That would make the fenders look pretty dumb. It may work but ain’t happinin.

catmando · May 10, 2019

Here is the difference

catmando · May 10, 2019

Hard too tell in the pics but the axel sits about three inches higher in the new axel pics, fenders on a boat trailer are pretty tight

Yeh that sucks . Could get some longer U bolts and a inch or two block for between the spring and axle.
Yes you don’t want to flip as will be a pain at launch as well if it’s shallower.
Also I think if you look at thous fenders you will be able to shim them up on the front and back .
The brackets that hold them and spring will let you bolt through the top of the plastic down into the bracket .
Put a some tubing between fender and bracket with bolt through all .

Got a straight axel made and works as it should , standens was very good too deal with and wasted no time making it right, would go back in a heartbeat!

catmando · Jun 4, 2019

Oh ya , this thing rips for sure, may head out again on the weekend weather pending
