I run my trailer tires at a pretty low pressure and spring under I don't find it to be too jumpy. Interested in what you decide to do as I'm planning on lifting the trailer maybe SOA...

    General Trailer Tire and CDN M101 Hub Question

    I think people try to run the same size/style tire just so they can share a spare. Maybe even include them into their tire rotation? I just ran the stock CDN M101 tires until I could find some used tires in a similar size to my 28575/16 KM2s on the LC. I found some 255/85/16 KM2s on craiglist...

    Trailer Lid - SEALS???

    Thought about bending up the extensions myself but my cheapy brake wont do 14-16ga. I doubt it would even do 18 well :( Been trying to find someone local in the IE that can do it or even make new fenders. I can't imagine it costing a whole lot to do 4 bends. Yeah the license plate light is...
