If your frame isn't twisted or bent you will need to move your axle hanger. Another option is to replace your trailer's axle with an axle-less system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Straight Spindle Only item # ASR3500S05 for 3,500 lbs axles. Or the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension - Spindle Only - Regular Tires item # ASR5200S01 for 5,200 lbs axles. If you're interested in this option, send me an email with what model of trailer you have and what type of hubs and lug pattern you have or want and I will find what parts you need.
