Looking for some input.
I'm getting ready to start a trailer build. It'll be based off of the M416 military trailer. Most people seem to put 3500# axles on there. I'm wondering if that's a bit overkill. The trailer will most likely weight around 400-500# empty (just guessing) and I can't imaging filling it with enough gear to add another 1500#. I guess I don't really care, but I'm having trouble finding a 3.5k axle with the shorter hub face distance. Thoughts?
