Lifting a utility trailer - Autobot - 05-17-2009
No reason for doing except I think it would look kind of cool.
Ok, here is my plan.
I have an enclosed motorcycle trailer that I plan on putting a few modern conveniences basically turning it in to a simple camper/workshop/hauler.
Most of the stuff I already have from previous places I live and have no need for now and is just getting stored in there (mini fridge, micro wave, coffee maker, grill, air compressor, tools, etc). So, I figured what I will do is set some of this stuff up in the trailer and use it as a mini camper so that I can still haul a few bikes in it and it will sleep two and that way I wouldn't have to set a tent up.
Well, something else I though about doing is lifting it up a little bit and put some A/T or M/T tires on it to give it that off road look. Seeing as they just use leaf springs, this should not be two difficult. However, will there be any safety concerns that I should worry about? I know it makes it a little more top heavy, but will it make it dangerously so?
Like I said, there is no reason for doing this except I think it will look kind of cool....and I want to be a tard. LOL However not at the risk of having it over turn because that will never look cool. LOL

No it shouldnt affect it much @ all other being in the airstream more.There are lots of trailers that are way up there like 5th wheels.You can shimmy under them on your hands and knees and not hit anything.
