Does Drop Spindle Add Clearance?
Question:
Since this lowers the axle relative to the wheel center, how does this improve ground clearance? Wouldnt it lower the trailer, reducing ground clearance?

Expert Reply:
You are correct, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 7685269 does lower the trailer. The clearance is the clearance of the spindle from the axle, as you can see in the accompanying photo.
