My questions are these.
I want to put 33x12.5's on it to match my jeep, so what's the best way to get the same lug pattern as my TJ? Should I buy the adapters? Should I just buy a whole new axle? Can I just replace the hubs? I guess I should mention that all the hand brake stuff is missing off the trailer, so I'm not dead set on keeping the original axle. If I opt to just purchase a new axle, what weight rating should I go with and more importantly, what width? Is there any other considerations that I'm not thinking of?
Where do I find replacement suspension parts? I feel like I read somewhere that they are the same parts as an older model CJ, but I have no idea if that's true, or if so, what model. I'm mainly talking about the spring hangers and bolts with the grease fittings. I have no idea what they are called.
Since I'm doing the spring over axle conversion, the lower shock mount will end up on top of the axle and spring. How will that work? And how do I know what kind/size of shocks to order?
I am ready to send it out for sandblasting and powdercoationg, but i dont want to pay to have the axle done if i'm just going to end up buying a new one.
Thanks for the help!
