Oh Sh*t, that means I'm not done yet. Even though mine are on the wrong axle they seem to work, tell me I don't have to change them. :-)Quote:

I hope to never see another sand blaster!!!

I really appreciate y'all bringing up "redos".......Since I 'thought' I was finished!!!!
The front and rear crossmembers are original and untouched....when I added the 2 new one's in between, I used them to align the new bunk perches.....why change the factory set-up RIGHT???
WELL...Evidently this tub has set on this trailer from day 1 with the port side lower than the starboard!!!
Must'a gone unnoticed because the single axle fenders had a different angle on the inside.
However on these twin axle fenders, I have no clearance on port and 1+" on starboard.
Guess I'll be shimming the port bunks today!!!
Oh Yeah.....and I dunked it yesterday just to make sure it was centered on the trailer!

Ah....I found some old pics verifying the original set-up was off!!!
Thanks Custom Line!!!!

Actually the measurement from the hull to frame@ bunks should tell me!
BTW, it appears to be setting on all 4 bunks nicely as far as distributing weight!
If you used the "Used" springs, measure from frame to spring top @ all 4 locations. Possible springs have sagged @ different values.Quote:

I've heard of "Hanging it up"...but you took it to a literal senseQuote:
