Trying to mod my 17' Casita to be as off-road capable as possible. Interested in learning the pros and cons of leaf-spring vs dexter torsion axle (both with shock absorber). Any other advice for my mod is greatly appreciated!
Please show photos of your wheel and hub once you have them.
I came across a hurdle with dexter axle and 4Runner wheels. The dexter hub is smaller than 4rnr bore. Not easy to maintain concentrically when using flange nuts. Tapered nut would mash the alloy on the wheels.
Max coupler May be a deterrent to the run of the mill thief. An experienced thief might simply tow it using your safety chains snugged up tight.
Do I have experience with trailer springs? 1974. Baja. Vizciano Desert. 150 miles on two track to Malarrimo, the most remote place I've ever been.
I'm in the middle of a 6" lift (leaf spring conversion) on my 17SD casita, along with several other mods, I'll try to get some pics posted.Trying to mod my 17' Casita to be as off-road capable as possible.
