    Exactly. Figured they would look good on the trailer and they would work as a spare on the truck if I needed to steal one off the trailer for some reason and each one about half the cost of each one of my methods on the truck

    Yeah man, they're great, affordable wheels. I thought about getting them for my T4R because they're dirt cheap and if I eff them up, who cares!

    Looks good, but you put the front leaf spring hangers on backwards.

    Ahhhh what an idiot!!! Does it super matter? Can I get away with it the way I have it? Will I damage anything or limit something if I don't change it?

    ...too much shit to list.
    It "should" go the other way for two reasons
    • Acts as a pseudo skid/guide for obstacles until your tire can make contact. The way its setup now you would be more likely to hangup.
    • Gives more welding surface area in front of the pivot such that there will be less leverage load on the frame.
    That said...it's just a damn trailer. IMO you'd really have to beat the shit out of it for it to make any difference. If you're worried about it, you could plate the outside of the frame to the mount.
