Hi,

I am in the middle of designing an off road trailer with a hinged lid (we use 2 rv5 oztents) and was wanting to know how much clearence to have betwen the tyre and guard. I will be using either 5 or 7 leaf rebound springs (most likley the latter) rated at around 1300 to 1550 kg and was wondering how much they will sag at their max. loading.

Also what size tyres are you using, I could use 31x10.5 15 but that will make the trailer sit a lot higher and could cause problems with putting a tent on it in the future or I could use 30 x 9.5 15 but then it wont match the tug but will keep the center of gravity a bit lower.

Any thoughts would be appreciated befour I launch into it with the grinder and welder

Thanks
