Like it says, anyone have any trailer drawings? I think I'm going to build a new everything above the axles for my trailer. In the process, making it longer and a little wider to haul my Jeep and possibly car or anything else.
My axles aren't very wide, so I'll either need to raise the bed (so I can drive over them) and dovetail it, or widen them. Or make it so the fenders are removable and just drive over the tires? I'm open at this point... However, I woujld like the clearance of having a higher bed when towing off highway.
Actually, that brings me to another question - how do you tell what your axles are rated at? These have electric? brakes and are 5 lug. So if I had to guess, I'd say 3500 lbs each. But how do you really know? Is it stamped somewhere near the spindle or etc?

The brand and model of the axles should be stamped somewhere or a small plate welded on to the axle. We found the brand of some axles and called the co. and the guy gave us some things to measure and told us what it was rated depending on those.
