Re: Frame Issues


 

Dave:

With the triangular brackets, and axle mount all being welded to the frame, it's hard to imagine how it can bend.? I guess that's why 3/8" to 1/2" steel is needed for the additional bracing.

The pictures show the spacing on my cross members.? It seems I would need to cut one or both and reweld to the added plate.? If I do that, any length and position could be obtained.? That's one advantage of having no camper off the trailer.

I plan to straighten the rails today.? I also have a bow in the rails as well.? It is visible in one picture.? I've don't know what could have caused that, but it's never been an issue to my knowledge.? I have an idea to straighten it using a chain and jack system, but I'm not sure how well it will work.
