Fall 2009 Gathering Location / Date Poll

[Bushwacker]

Fred - if your trailer is an EZ Loader like mine, you should be able to move the axle +-about 4'! The springs are attached to a steel angle bracket about 4' long; trailer frame sits on top of the angle brackets. To adjust, so just loosen the U-bolts clamping bracket to frame, chock trailer wheels, hook up to truck and pull trailer forward relative to axle. I moved my axle aft about 7" and that gave me about 160 lbs on the tongue which seems to work fine. Only problem was the flexible line for the brakes between axle and frame; had to get a longer line. When I tow to these gatherings, I usually have a fair amount of stuff in the cabin and I put my 70 cooler full of ice/food/drinks in the stepdown to keep it from sliding around, so actual tongue wt is probably closer to 200 lbs.
