Topic: axle flip on trailer for more clearence

[wifesaysimadumbass]

i am thinking about doing an axle flip on my 20 foot car hauler.  just wondering if anyone else has done this and what are the handling drawbacks
thanks

I did that on a trailer I had with a 2 inch drop, the thing wound drag over pebbles it was so low. Once finished it was then 2 inches taller than a standard trailer. Sure glad I was loading a 4x4 on it since it was so tall. There was no difference in any feel in handling at all, but it was being towed by a 30' motorhome and I never felt anything back there in the first place.

yeah my carhauler is soo long that any driveway or speedbump i drag it...

you can put heavy duty "rollers" on the rear of the trailer, but i would just flip the axles

I ordered my trailer SOA and it tows fine, I never have to worry about dragging going in or out of parking lots and when Boone Rd. was almost all whoops to the lakebed.

I just flipped my axles last week, quick and easy, and no handling difference!!

Flipped my travel trailer axles and have towed several thousand miles with no problems.

only draw back is if your axle has a bend in the center it will be facing down.  I have been debating this myself.

welding new perch's on top of the axle takes care of that

did it on my tent trailer I tow with my yota. works fine.
