Trailer Frame with Tires Question

Postby Classic Finn » Thu May 25, 2006 10:35 am

Dear friends...

I have accomplished a lot in the past week... flooring is Done!! :dancing
Ive tried on the New Smoothies and Coker Tires... Man its looking like Candy to the eye....YES!

Now that I want to take photos I cant since apparently my sweetie has the camera with her in Edinburgh Scotland and wont be back till next week Wednsday...UGH...

However a question came to mind.. What is the Average Height of "Most " frames with wheels on.. I have 14 x 6 Smoothies and 205/70/14 tires..

and a straight axle.. To me it shows that its somewhat high however I cant really compare it to any other teardrop or frame with U.S. rims and wheels.. :QM

Other than that its finally comin along...plus here is a lil extra for you - Samuel workin on his 3 wheeler tire.. ;)

Heikki, on a spring hung axle with the springs on top of axle, it is gonna ride higher...we are using 205-70-15 tires with a torsion axle set at 0* start angle and are about 12/13"s frame to ground...

p.s. tell your sweetie not to eat the haggis...it is very similar to a used huggie from what I have been told :o :( :? :lol: ;)
...I have come to believe that, conflict resolution, through violence, is never acceptable.....................mj

...with a spring suspension, the way to lower is either to mount the axle on top of the springs(if you have sufficient clearance) or use a drop axle....
