I buy the complete assembly and just weld the brackets on the chassis and clamp the axles on. I have built 3 and rebuilt 1 car trailer and they have evolved over the years.
The other good thing about a rocker set up is that with about 8 ft ramps the back of the trailer droops enough when loading that is is a straight run up onto the trailer so you never hook exhausts etc. That with an 800k dirt car or a 2 ton Ford Galaxie or Landcruiser.
The springs generally come in 1.5 ton, 2 ton or 2.5 ton and I think larger too. I use 2.5 ton, though the last one had 2 ton and rode that bit better with the light car on it.And was a bit dohy with the big car!
Yes, that looks like the easiest way to proceed.........have to get moving on this as I just got a vin number and approximate build date of Dec 12th for my truck.
Whilst looking for pieces and parts, I ran across a neat bolt in replacement equalizer/rocker assembly.........check out the video, what do you think:
EZ Flex
Thanks man!
