tillylamp 1,899 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 hi, has anybody altered a trailer chassis before,my question is:i want to widen the wheel base from 6ft 4inch to 7ft 4inch, is it easier to alter a axle trailer? or a independent suspension trailer? i have a choice of two trailer chassis both being four wheels,if anyone has altered any trailers in this way i would be pleased to hear about it. thanks tl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
General lee 979 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Stub axles are easier just unbolt them alter the trailer and bolt them back otherwise you have to cut the axle in the middle sleeve them and weld them back up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,780 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 if the trailers on indespension units there dead easy to alter , if its a solid axle type its a bit harder but do able... ive done both and if your good with a welder its easy enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
