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,

Ok, got it. Now that I know what to look for, I understand the offset thing. My trailer is about 1200#s wet so I need to figure out which leaves to pull out. Also, thanks for the link for the shackles as I'm sure I'll be needing a set as well. My trailer chassis is quite narrow so your gusseting pics are making sense to me.

Thanks again.
