Does anyone have pictures of their unit after the axle flip?  I'd really like to see the difference and decide whether or not I really want to do it.  My last trip involved traversing some very uneven off road terrain and some huge hills.  I was careful and didn't run into trouble, but I did drag the jack a couple of times and one of the bumper stops another time.  If that's the worst I ever run into, I'd prefer to maintain the classic appearance of the trailer, but not at the expense having to rebuild the plumbing system.  If the apperance is still classic enough with the flip, I'd probably go ahead and do it just for the extra insurance.  Please post pictures if you've done a flip on yours.

Thanks,

Mike

I did mine over a year ago got the axle plates at tractor supply and welded on the top it tows as before and no clearance problems.

I installed this kit http://www.dexteraxle.com/inc/…..etail/1099.

It required no welding. I did it in the driveway.

You will drop the wheel 5″ lower in the wheel well and gain 5″ for the undersides of the trailer.  The axle height will be the same. 

There is an older post with pics:

P.S. What is wrong with the edit date?  Is the server in Iceland?
