My Lowes trailer build

[Wanderer81]

Sorry, got extremely busy, had twins.
So I’ve added fenders, welded the rear gate shut. Also added two poles so I can see it behind me.

Reviving... Did you get new perches for the axle?
Trying to find the dimensions.

Any updates

interested in the 2in spacers you used. Brand? have they held up good?

These kinds of builds makes me want to buy a small trailer and use for future roadtrips myself.

nice start, that's how my 4x6 trailer started out many years ago. One very important lesson I learned. Upgrade that toothpick axle asap with a 3500 lb rated axle. Then upgrade those slipper springs to a softer heavier rated spring with eyelets and shackles. Ask me how I know LOL

Looking to put bigger tires in my new 4x6 trailer build…
Which axle? 3500 from tractor supply?
Which springs did u use for your build?
What kind/size rims/tires? As those seen in your pics look to be exactly what I need.
Thanks in advance!

Hey there Troy, A Dexter EZ Lube axle ordered from a local trailer sales & supply shop; The axles are 5 on 4.5 so I used 2” wheel spacers converted to 6 on 5 to fit the stock LX450 Wheels 16” wrapped in 285/75/16s ATs. The springs I finally have now after snapping a three leaf 3,500 lb set are 5 leaf 5,000 lb . This week I’ll be installing the dexter upgraded spring shackles with greasable bolts and bushings. Last time out we snapped the left side shackles after a few hundred miles on wash board. Foolishly I didn’t air the trailer tires down enough and the shackles gave way. Good luck
