So all in all id save around 400-500 with a straight axle set up... gonna have to see where this goes and talk to my local trailer shop... (friends of family) to see what it will all run me... and gotta figure out ride height as Ill be running 255/80/17s

 

Yeah I'd say somewhere in that ball park. You could go all out and do trailing arms like JLee hahaha

I wanted my trailer to be as tall as my truck so the 4" lift springs helped put the tongue of my trailer nice and level with my tow hitch on my bumper when I put my trailer on the matching 35's

 

With the axle i assume its easier to calculate how much lift youll need? Or did you have to get the axles all mounted up anf figure out the lift you needed?

I could do trailing arms as there is a member here with a tube bender And itd be cheaper but buying some shocks for that bitch would be KILLER on the budget... i think my max for this trailer build is 2k... not including extra shit... thats just including the parts and consumables

 

I mean it was pretty easy to figure out. All you have to do is add the height of the material at tongue height + height of spring hangars + height of leaf springs and perch + half of the diameter of your axle plus half of the diameter of your tire and there is your desired height.

My tires are 35's so 17.5" + 1.5" (half of axle tube) + 1" spring perch + 4" lift springs + 2" hangers + 1" (center of tongue height)

Roughly 27" and my hitch in my bumper is right at 26-27"

If you have all the parts you don't necessarily need to mount it all up. Those are the things you need to add up to reach a desired height.

2k budget was relatively easy to stay under when I built my 4x6 trailer. Here is the link. @StOrMyThEtAcO owns it now

Sorry for the long message hahaha and all the numbers

 

That helps alot! Thanks a bunch

 

For sure dude.

For example, if you wanted to achieve 24" of height at the tongue on those 33" tires you'd have to add up the height of all those items. Most of the items only come in really 1 size except for the leaf springs. So at that point you'd be searching for leaf springs to bring the rest of the height up to 22"

16.5" (half of tire diameter)
1.5" (half of axle tube)
1" spring perch
2" hangers
1" center of tongue height

You're at 22" so you need 2" lift springs.

You get it. Just thought I'd type up an example cuz I'm bored lol

 

I know. I just decided I wanted new stuff in case there was an issue down the road.

 

Booooooo

 

Do you still have that leaf pack you bought from Floyd?

 

I miss my bikes . Use to ride a '01 600F4I and a '02 954... always wanted an RC51

Touched on the notion of riding again and it didn't go over very well with the fam lol

 

I was pissed my brother sold his 03 954rr the whole bike was built from HRC. Basically purposely built for racing.

 

@MY50cal lol my brother never raced it though. One of the nastiest exhaust notes I've ever heard pure beast.

 

Negative

 

Copy that sir

 

I bet that thing was a monster!

 

Retarded.. .... Nuff sed lol

 

Smh tho he sold it for a harley. I bought my 04 1000rr after I totalled my 03 600rr. Go big or go home.

 

A guy I used to ride with years ago turbo his 05 1000rr. All I can say about that is wow. Dude was a nut job on that bike I wonder if he's still alive

 

So much for the LS1 Miata swap...
