Widening a tractor hauling trailer................

Recommended Posts

I am trying to get ready for Spring already. My trailer is about 8 inches too narrow between the fenders to fit my AC tractor (with a 48 inch deck). I was thinking about widening the drop axle a total of 10 inches-- by cutting the axle tube and welding in a 5 inch tube extension on each side. I will remember to keep the canber of the tires. Anyone widen their trailer OR is it better that I just buy a new one??? Thanks.

I have widened a few by cutting the axel in the middle, and getting a pipe or heavey wall tubing toslip over both sides and welding it. Use 4to5 feet of pipe.
