Thanks for that Swishy, often wonder why some trailers that sit flat on non tapered beams feel nice even though they sit quite high.

Drop the trailer off onto landing legs & run a string line from K/Pin to outer edge of trailer front axle
(in your case if the bearing hub cap runs tru ... compare length from Passenger to driver side
wen U adjust the torque rod to make both sides even on the string line
then U can compare 1st axle to the nex etc
U can get a bit of differation from wen the spring was secured down with the 'U' bolts
az there is a bit of slop where the center bolt head rides on the axle housing
ifn u get my drift

Rocker boxes Seed. Bushes are all in good order, must have been replaced just before it's big rest. Only one rocker needs attention or replacing.




Ill think of something shortly

I dont think so Swishman, I feel it has to do with chassis camber and on 10'1" spreads, its a long way from the rear axle and chassis is climbing all the way

I am most probably wrong, to my eye the rails climb both ways, from the front of the trailer and the rear as well and sort of meet about towards the middle
