Where to get new springs and axles N Atl area
 

Well, after just two years the salt water has done in my axles. Rust has
flaked off almost 1/8" thick. They are "sagging" in the center which bows
the wheels outward enough to show excessive wear on the inner edges. Plus,
they seem to be only 2000# axles anyway, which is borderline for my 4000#
boat. I've checked Northern and Country Boy trailers. Would prefer to have
someone do the work. Any suggestions?
Thanks, LD

Yes, I have dealt with one particular company for many years. I was in the
landscape industry and had many trailers custom built and maintained. I
would personally recommend "Tow Pro" of Duluth. If your familiar with the
Duluth area, then you will be able to find them. They are located about
1/2 mile north of pleasant hill road on buford highway. Basically they
are behind Howard Bros. Hardware in between them and the liquor store. I
have sent a couple of friends there in the past and all have had great
dealings. Let me know how it goes.

You're losing it, Bill. Where did you say that? You don't need to get
upset with me because you didn't understand the thread. I'm not to
blame for your lack of comprehension. So, I'll ask again: Guess you
didn't understand the N Atl area", huh?

Thanks for the tip. I'm leaning to TowPro. Too bad, the shop close to me
wanted $700, where TowPro is more like $450 (but 30 miles away). Other bad
news is that I'd like to go to a tandem setup instead of my twin axle but
they won't do the labor unless I take off the boat, which means I'll
probably loose over half a day trying to find a place to set it in the water
for a day or two.) Otherwise, I'm back in to the DIY mode.

come up with such a gem......

Just following your leader.

Thanks, I'm trying to get them to do it. It seems that on my alum trailer,
nothing is standard. The springs are short, the axles are mounted under
instead of over, and it's a twin axle but not a tandem. My biggest concern
is the axles are so rusted, they're weak and bent enough to let the tires
angle out at the bottom. I'll at least get them to attach two 3500# axles
to my springs. That will fix the immediate problem. Later, I'll look at
springs and possible conversion to a tandem.

years.
