That's a very interesting link ^^^^
Was the OP looking for this or something more heavy? My trailer is a P8 Ifor on flotation tyre's, as the 90 is quite high the trailer does sit a bit nose high. No so much as it's unsafe and is quite okay for a light trailer, but could ideally sit level. Fitting axles like those would give the trailer a lift, issues would include mud guards would be a problem. (Too small.) Pair of boost alloys, nuts, locking nuts & KM2 tyre's. (They'd have to match!) Carrying a spare would be an issue. Add the cost of axles, although type approved for load capacity suitable. All together would be super expensive indeed. No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

Not sure if a LR axle will fit your trailer...
I chopped a 110 HCPU into a trailer and removed all the internals of the diff & axle.  Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Bear in mind that any weight you add will diminish your available payload, so replacing a relatively light beam and Indespension unit type axle system with a far heavier LR axle or LR hubs could be a problem depending on how much of the payload on your trailer you regularly use.

Retroanaconda, indeed you are correct about reducing the payload of the trailer.
But I've found that having the LR axle and hubs as 'unsprung' weight, the trailer is much more stable (especially when not fully loaded) when on the gravel roads around Botswana & Namibia. I'm also currently changing the springs to standard rear 110 ones to help with the stability.

Thanks very much for the link, that's great. Also it's looking like MBB might be able to help out with a pair 👍 |
