    Trailer is roadworthy once again! need to put some shocks on it and probably fine tune the springs and links, but it tows very well as it sits.

    unpainted axle with the link tabs and spring collar mounts

    painted with the adjustable spring collars bolted on
    [​IMG]
    the collars are meant to have a little play, so i double nutted them to keep proper tension on the bolt

    nice tight fit

    265/70/17 terra grapplers on FJ Cruiser steel wheels make for good under the axle clearance.

    yep, that's what the spring retainers are for. you center the coil where you want it and tighten down the retainer. may ad some coneson top of the collar to aid in reseating the springs, but that's down the road. very popular way or working suspensions on rovers and jeeps

    about 6 inches or separation on this one. only difference is that he retained the coil to the axle, not the frame.

    and yeah, got another bed rack in the works for a gentleman in northwest florida. rack is scheduled to be done by the end of february.
