m416 Axle question

[xtreme4li]

I know there is a crazy amount of info on this but i cant seem to find anyone that has this set up.....

- me and a buddy of mine are going to try to build a rep m416, but use different axles and tires

- id like to use,
Wheel Size: 15x8
5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern
Backspace: 3.75
Finish: Gloss Black

with a 31/10.5/15 in tire

what size axle / Kind of axle would i need? i dont want breaks, and im going to need leafs too. probably could get away with something close to the actual m416 leafs.

any help would be great! thanks guys

This has all been covered before, but any width 3500lb axle can be had with any bolt pattern you desire.

so basically build the tub and the frame how I want and just order a 3500lb axle? is there a lenght i need or can i order that specific?

 

[xtreme4li]

[xtreme4li]

Don't take this the wrong way, but for someone who is intending to replicate a trailer from scratch you sure don't seem to know much about trailers at all. Every question you have asked has been covered on here and likely dozens of other forums, start searching and reading A LOT until you are comfortable with EVERY PART AND DIMENSION before you make your first cut.

Yea I realize that, that's why I'm asking questions.

Haha good to know, think what I'm going to do is look for a m416 in good shape for my starting point!
