Thanks for the heads up on the trailing arm.
The axle can easily be relocated forward. My axl happens to be an AL-KO, but I assume that the measurements are the same.
I might move the axle slightly to properly balance the trailer. I am in the process of a major rebuild and modifications.
I woudl use the AL=KO replacement or the Dexter, but I don't know exactly the angle of the trailing arm and therefore the trailer ride height,
As a part of the rebuild I intend to install a set of red AL-KO shockabsorbers. These clip into the euro AL-FO trailing arms, but with the removable Flexride arms I can machine the mounting grooves into the arms or weld them on.
I would like to add shock absorbers ad part of the modifications.
My worry is the rebound clearance for the tires to the top of the wheel wells.
