CDN M101 SOA? How easy is it?

[Roberto]

How easy is it to do a SOA on the CDN M101? Just flip the axle over and mount springs on top?I am going to be running 33 x 16 x 9.5 with 2.5" OME on my BJ42 and wondering if I should do SOA on my CDN M101 trailer for I was planning on running the same size tires on it to look the same? Any ideas or thoughts?

Thanks Koffer, I am going to try it when the time comes and see what it looks like, if crazy then I will just reverse and put the 33's on without lift if they will fit? Anyone got pics of 33's on theirs without SOA? I wonder if loaded down not extremely heavy if tires will rub?

i did the spring over on mine, took about 4 or so hours, and thats even taking apart the axles to regrease everything. if you have the hand brake you will also need to flip the backing plate 180 degrees thats about all there is to it ,,, it makes the trailer look pretty awesome.


Good Luck...

I just undid the axle last week to do the same with mine, it took only 20 mins to get all the parts off and the axle cleaned for the new spring perch.
The 33's fit on the trailer without the SOA though but in my case i am interested in having more clearance and a few other reasons.
Here is a link to my build with some pics of the trailer with the 33's mounted...I think the size looks great for this trailer...
