    If the issue was related to backing and not what those with decades of experience have told you multiple times it would likely be the outside tire anyway and not the inside one.

    Are there scuff marks under your trailer where the inside tire rubs when you overload it?

    Next time you have one like that some sandpaper,
    Elbow grease and spray paint will make it look new in a few minutes time.

    that’s exactly my point. How come the driver side front trailer axle tires look brand new I’m pretty sure it’s my 90° backing and possibly some curbs definitely some curbs
     
    Albertaflatbed Thanks this.

    Point on looking under the trailer to see if there’s any rub marks I will look at that but once again, why is my driver side front axle tires in perfect condition it has to be the 90° backing

    Anyone is wondering how to get a bottle jack underneath the shocks when there is no clearance this is what I had to do:
    1. Drop suspension towards second or third of the last hole still needs some clearance
    2 Drive over some two by fours
    3. Play Jack under shocks and raise it 2/3 of the way
    4. raise the suspension all the way

    And this will give you Clearance

    while I was changing out of that tire. I was thinking about you with the cheater bar when you had to do it yourself. I tried using my cheater bar, but the wood work better probably only because I had the clearance. definitely need to go to Harbor freight and get a prybar

    Why is it that just the passenger side tires are the problem but not the driver side on the same axle?
    my trailer is leveled through the whole frame. I made sure of that. Also my flip has two shims, so it’s nice and stable and it keeps his head up and it’s ### down
