    I only notched it out so it can be reversed if you wanted to I used a side grinder.

    Good to know The shocks weigh a ton for these things. You are right That tube is thick. I havent done any more with it. It looks pretty good lowered to me. Way more usable.

    Oh yeah 16 foot lumber in a 7 foot trailer wasnt a good idea. I didnt have a 16 foot trailer... It worked though.

    Ok the heaviest load I hauled was a stack of lumber 16 feet long. The tail was wagging the dog like crazy. I couldnt go over 25mph. Ok good to know it will handle 3k.

    I dont think you can really put more than 2k in one stock. Ive loaded my 105 with an insane amount of weight. Ill load mine up and weigh it and see where the tires go.

    I havent seen a picture of one with some with weight in it. ive laoded mine pretty full. I dont remember it squatting much. I think it would take 2k pounds to squat it where i would be concerned about being close to wheel well.

    Another way to lower an M1101/M1102

    Yes just temporaily Im not using it like that. I will drill all the way through and bolt through frame rail before i use it. It would probably be fine the way it is. I just want it as strong or stronger than factory. I just wanted to make sure tires didnt rub. There is still 2 inches inside...

    The 105 bed is wayyyyy Stronger than the m1101. I never would of bought the m1101 if I knew I could dent it with my fist... Especially for firewood. Love the hummer tires.

    Another way to lower an M1101/M1102

    Ive loaded it probably around 2k before stock. So should be about the same I would think. Now that I have a worn out xterra to pull it with Ill probably never go past 2k in it.

    If i could get some cheap 15 inch 8 lug wheels. The trailer would be super low. Its really a workable height now after lowering 5 inches. Probably about the same as a half ton pickup bed maybe lower.

    Another way to lower an M1101/M1102

    24 inches to the bottom of the ring. I measured in gravel so it might be a hair over. The axle has a mounting bracket. I bolted thru the sides just like it was factory. and where it mounts to trailer bed Im going to drill thru trailer bed and run a carriage bolt thru the frame havent done that...

    Another way to lower an M1101/M1102

    Well I notched the mounting bracket. Drilled holes to mount axle.I moved the axle flush with bed 5 inch drop complete. I will mount the tires and take some pictures tomorrow. I think the shocks will fit back on also. Kind of a fun project not the easiest thing but start to finish for me probably...

    I have mine on my lift at work. Im going to attempt the 5 inch drop. with factory tires with no shocks. We will see what happens....

    Has anyone tried this?

    Another way to lower an M1101/M1102

    So from what I read you did not do one of the trailer axle to frame of trailer. Thats what Im looking at doing. You said something around 5 inches? I guess if I remove the shocks completely I dont know what the ride difference will be. Im wanting to keep the factory 37's.
