Re: extra axle

No it already has a vin. also your axle spacings and your pin weights would be off.

Not a good idea

Re: extra axle

Probably not a good idea. Many of the other components (frame rail gauge, hitch, spring shackles etc) might be engineered with lighter materials. Most single axle trailers I've seen are pretty light duty. You would also need to relocate the original axle and if you don't do it right you could throw off the tracking, tongue weight and balance.

In theory, practice and theory are the same.
In practice, they are not.
