Good thought Steve!

I wonder if Frederick could fashion something out of wood and an old coupler that he could connect to the existing coupler and jack post temporarily just to move the trailer?

6" higher requires a minimum of 12" bigger tire, you would not be able to turn much before hitting the A frame. The rims on my dolly are slightly different, the center hub is offset to one side of the tire when compared to the one at harbour freight.

I used to hit the A frame and / or battery box before I flipped the tires around moving them in about 3" on each side. Now I can better manouver my trailers in tight spots.
