Today I mocked up the axle. I needed to get some hard measurements before starting to cut and weld. I got my axle from Randy at www.abctrailerparts.com they are a great business and I highly recommend them. I wanted to see what kind of clearance I needed between the axle spring perches and the inside of the tire. It looks as though I will have a 42” wide frame and clear the tires with room to spare. These springs don’t flex all that much like vehicles suspension. The hitch will do most of the articulating.

Here is a pic of all the parts with the kit, and a shot of how I taped off the axle to make my measured lines a bit easier to see. I also used a few 2x4’s to mock up the frame width to aid in measuring.
