OK people, here's a working design I'm going to build in the future. It will be a simple 5x10 benroy with 2" tube frame, 3/4" skeletonized plywood sides, aluminum skins and whatever I can afford inside for finish & comfort.
My question is about the axle setup now. I'm thinking the 2000# Flexiride would be best, but down-rated to about 1500# for this version (target weight of 1200#) with a "start" angle of 22 degrees. If I'm pulling with a Nissan Frontier & a hitch height of about 13"-14" what am I looking at for a tire size to keep things level? I'd like to pull with 15" rims to match the truck and tow easier on bumps. I can adjust the ride height by choosing the correct aspect ratio of the tire. Best guess from the folks here on where I'll end up and comments on this type of axle? Would a Dexter be better? Best place to buy the axle and any tips on setting it up properly (cost, shipping, etc.)? All input greatly appreciated. thanks for looking, tim
