    On the second picture I see deformity inside the side panel that is generating a sort of damage as if it is swelling up.

    Swelling up? Are you talking about the box or tire?

    So here's what I'm seeing outta this post above...

    Take all 8 decent tires off, spend 2 to 3 grand a on a WHOLE set of tires so you can get a couple of old tool boxes to clear the tires, Instead of swingin past a shop, pay an hour labor and have them remove them, put up on the deck until you get home to throw them outside or in your barn or sell them.

    Low pro tires on a flatbed? Why....

    I can'r read your wheel size on the tires. Are they 22" or 24"? That could be your problem.

    I'll look tomorrow. I like the trailer but I really don't need the boxes. I bet if I take them off I will miss them.

    I don't think it's deformed. It's straight maybe a bad picture. Probably going to take it off once I get home. If it blows well I guess I will have to get all new tires low profiles or something.
     
    cke and x1Heavy Thank this.

    Why? Just move the boxes.... It would be so much simpler and cheaper.......

    I thought that too, at first. But looking at it on my PC screen, rather than on the tablet, I think what we're seeing, is shadow.
     
    cke, Jeck and x1Heavy Thank this.
