check it out - new equipment

Front axle all the way. Should be way simpler. Is it a bolt on kit?

 

Have to give you a hard time, order what you need and use.

 

I'd have to call Great Dane to get build sheets on my trailers unless there's a mfr plate on the tandem somewhere. My trailers are '02 and '06, so hopefully not too old for these kits. Probably have to buy the kit thru a trailer dealer anyway, although I'd expect the part number advice from Hendrickson to be more reliable. For the money I'm seeing, this may get bumped a lot higher on my priority list.

 

Red call the dealer and find out what suspension your bogie is, call Hendrickson for the right parts, then shop around. An old member here said MAC trailer in Ohio had the cheapest price on the kits that he found.

 

I have to admit I've never seen a closed tandem axle trailer with one of the axles lifted. Spread axle trailers I see it sometimes. Would be a cool trick mod for an owner op.

 

I've seen it done a lot on tankers and grain wagons.

 

It's real common with the newest grain wagons.

 

Coming down 65 today I saw several closed tandem reefers with a front axle lift.
