    The tires are 22.5. I stopped by my house on the way to Texas yesterday. My son tried to remove the box. Those bolts are tight as hell on there. Will have to wait.

    I have low pro tires on my flatbed, cheapest way I could come up with to get the back of the trailer as low as possible! Would be nice if it was another 1-1/2" lower! Roll off trucks drag roll off boxes off the back of mine.

    But... Low pro tires, because of a tire clearance issue? Umm I'd just move the box a couple of inches! I wouldn't get rid of them completely... Never too much storage...

    One other thought, is it air ride? Could the height control be off and riding too low?

    Have you checked the bushings and made sure the axle is not moving? I can't imagine someone would mount a box that close

    I can. Because majority of people that build what we use are paid minimum wage. So they have a care factor of zero...

    I know you guys are right, but if I was paying someone to mount boxes and saw that they would be redoing it.

    There is a reason you don't pay before the work is done

    Every shop has 2 or 3 guys who care, the rest are dead weight for the most part.
