I am in the process of converting my M101A1 to an M101A2 configuration. I already have the axle and parking brake installed. I have acquired a surge brake actuator and other parts to install. I'd like to know the best way to run the hydraulic lines along the frame under the trailer. I've...

Some pics of the axle swap
Some pictures of the axle swap. It lowered the trailer ~2.25" going from the 9.00-16" NDT tires to 235/85R16 tires. I then decided to swap to a pair of 265/75R16's that I liked better that are pretty much the same height as the 235/85R16's.
Thought I'd start a thread to consolidate all the previous posts I have made about this.
