Re: [VAL] Axles
One of the things that bother me is the fact that Red neck trailer parts
told me that the 3500 lb axles only come with 10 inch drums that seems wimpy to
me the trade wind has 12 drums and they had the ability to if necessary to
lock up and shorten the stopping distance to less than the truck alone. Saved
my precious butt once . Any thoughts on this subject? I am going to contact
the factory and see if 12 in drums could be had on special order The Silver
Albatross weighs about 6000 lb when traveling.
