Upsizing trailer tires from 10" to 13"

[Yellowsubmarine]

I have a Paros 4 place dual axle open trailer with 10" tires that I'm totally tired of trying to keep running, and was wondering how the best way to convert it would be. It currently has straight axles with springs over. I was wondering if a 4" drop axle would set the trailer too high for a 13" wheel? Would I be better off to use another straight axle and block it down? This second option has me adding alot of length to the shackles and such. Also, anyone have any inexpensive suggestions for online purchase of the axles and tires/wheels? Thanks for any info guys.

how about you modify it so the blocks could go between your shackles and trailer?? Thus dropping the entire axle assembly springs and all. You could drop a 2" or 3" block in there depending on current tire clearance?

Hey Bud. A cheap set of riser blocks and a few longer U-bolts and you're cooking with gas. Don't buy new axles and the like. You should be running with new gear for under $75 (plus the tires). PM me for pricing on the tires/wheels.
