Build a new frame, add another axle, get bigger hubs with brakes. Seriously, a different trailer would be less expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian 155 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 I agree w/ Tim. You can add heavy duty leaf springs, stronger flooring , crossmembers and the whole nine yards. You might be out of an awful lot of money with the beef up. The issue that most forget to "beef up" is the wheel bearings. Most likely they are not rated for that kind of weight and will burn up in no time at all, and leave you stranded with your livelihood on the side of the road. Just get another trailer and have two. One for heavy jobs , one for lighter jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
