I found/bought a small utility trailer to haul my antique engines on. It's 4x8 and quite heavy for the size, I believe it's a former u-haul rental. The previous owner was going to dismantle & re-use the tubing, but only cut off the axle before he quit... Well it never had any leaf springs under it and I thought I would add them now. I'm looking for your thoughts on axle position. Factory placed the axle with the bend upwards (1st pic). I'm wondering about placing the axle with the bend hanging down, giving ample space to fit in leaf springs (2nd pic). Ground clearance is only 8.5" but I think that's ok. What are your thoughts, experience??
Thanks,
Wes
