[QUOTE="Uncle Meat, post: 3359276, member: 16"] Something else you might think about: With 5.2k axles, your GVWR is 10.4K. That's what you can put on your axles. Your trailer weighs around 1.7k? Maybe more? That would mean your payload is around 8.7k. If your equipment weighs combined 9k, you're kinda at your payload limit for 5.2k axles. And I realize I'm guessing at your trailer's weight but that's what I've seen. So please keep a good eye on tires and bearings! I get to deal with this on a daily basis. Also, I've had good luck with self tapping screws. Really haven't had a back-out problem. I really hate removing rusted nuts and bolts. But nothing wrong with going that route either. As I said, just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
