I only got a little trailer building experience but my numbers say you were closer to 78-80" at the outside of the fenders....unless you got some seriously skinny tires on there!! :thinking: :thinking: 8) 8) 8) :lol: :lol: :CC :Smile:


Oooops....read that wrong...my bad.
:oops:


...why yes you did...I was refering to the HUB 2 HUB measurement...'course, the fenders are 80"s, out to out :D ;)

...and yes, they have a standard spindle and one that is 1/2" shorter......

...and Chris, we are talking about torsion axles here, not regular sprung (leaf springs) axles..........

Sting, have a look here if you haven't already.

Steve has a great off-road build underway and it is very well documented.
