I need some opinions on aesthetics as well as functionality for my M101 CDN. I finally got around to swapping the axle and springs. The old cobbled axle was a 4" drop with springs under the axle that was too wide and looked something like this:
I purchased a straight axle several inches shorter in length to bring the wheels back in under the wheel wells (probably could have gone 1-2 inches narrower too) and moved the springs over the axle something like this:
My questions are:
1. Does the trailer sit too high? Will towing with the nose down be an issue?
2. Should I consider moving the springs under the axle? (obviously having to move the spring seats )
3. While this added height gains me quite a bit of ground clearance it hinders access to the trailer tub. Will this eventually become an annoyance?
4. Should I leave well enough alone and just enjoy my trailer?!?!
Thanks for any thoughts!
