Thanks kindly.
I think they are about 43", IIRC
Which leafs to use? I gave the shortest and the 3rd to Haystax...........so I used the remaining leafs..............very scientific
Look at the forst pic in the first post, you'll see the spring pin offset to the front

Axle is rated 3500#, but that was more a function of the 6-on-5.5" stud pattern. I won't probably carry more than 1,000# A spare tire/wheel or two, 2-4 fuel cans, water and camping gear. But I may also haul firewood, mulch, dirt and gravel.
Thanks,
Ed
