I had mine loaded to the top of the wooden rails hauling off the remnants of a shed I tore down. 2 heavy loads. The trailer rode great with the new Monroe shocks. Zero complaints here.

They do make quite the difference.

On the back for the tailgate, I just tied in a bit of chain so when I let down the gate, it hangs even with the bed. On the tongue, I cut off the old hooks, added on some more safety chain and new smaller hooks.

I didn't get any side by side pics, by they are basically the same size, they might have just a bit more travel than the originals.

I used the Monroe 32283's.

Couple pics from the camping/wheeling trip this past weekend.

Yes, I swapped in a 3500LB Dexter with Electric Brakes. Bolt pattern now matches our 2 Jeeps.

Used Behr ultra premium mixed to FS34094 paint code. Sprayed with a $10 Harbor Freight HVLP gun.

Paint stripper on the nut and threads, some PB Blaster and a BFH. Lunette flipped

Won it last week on govplanet.com and picked it up today over in Texarkana. Looks to be in decent condition. Aired up the tires, pulled it about 20 miles and checked the hub temps. They were both fine. Pulled it down I30 the most of the rest of the way home. Pulled and tracked nice. Plans are...

Which 3500lb axle are folks using on the M101A1's, the ones with 3" tubes or the standard 2 3/8" tubes? Any special u-bolt kit if using the standard 2 3/8ths tubed 3500lb axle?
