Re: [VAL] tire skids



Hi Harry:

If these skids are bolted to the axle tube itself you might want to consider
the forces that would be imposed on that structure (hollow structural tube
with rubber billets inside) when the trailer weight is suddenly dropped on
it, as well as any drag induced torsion.  I personally wouldn't use these
things myself FWIW.  If they were attached to the frame...maybe.
