Hi Curt, I have a 1958 SS Clipper double axle rig. I replaced the rear axle completely with a custom built one (matching width, drop, lug pattern, ETC.) with electric brakes. Then i had both axles shifted from springs mounted below the axle to springs mounted on top of the axles (everything else staying the same - axle drop, springs, shackles, etc.) Can't figure out how any such a move would create a toe in or out unless the axle is bent. I did have the work done at a large trailer manufacturing shop so relied on their experience and am very happy with overall results and reasonable overall costs. I needed the added under-belly height to accommodate my gray and black water tanks mounted in the rear bottom so they wouldn't drag. I did this work but with the help of a trailer repair guy that moonlighted to help me. Not sure any of this is of help other than to share. regards, jim
