After all these years finally have larger axles. Trailer is inch higher. Endured the worry of bearings breaking for many years of enjoying the trip north to the San Juans and Gulf Islands. After each trip would have to change the bearings on all wheels. Im a little imbarassed to have put up with this issue for this long but all fixed. Did contact EZ Loader about their engineering and they of course said it met spects. It's a storage trailer.
It has taken several years to complete but have spindles of 3/4 ton Ford which match the tow rig. Disc brakes, zert fittings in center of hubs, buddy bearing dust caps and 10 ply tires. Used number 5 brake fluid with electrical valve to dump fluid when backing up.

Nice work Jim! Disc brakes are a big improvement.

Enjoy!
