What kind of tires did you buy? Dealer install? Did you check the pressure before starting the trip?
How low? A pic would help there.

You would need new wheels and have to make sure they would fit the wheel well. They would also need to have the same bolt pattern which is unlikely.

[cchuckie51]

I see 14" have a greater weight capacity

[cchuckie51]

if you look at tire pics look at tire 33 you can see pic of axle in position now this was turned the other way and so tire was sitting inside of wheel well and you can see rubbing makrs

quick question if I make longer shackles would that help raise trailer say and 1"
one side is lower than other always has been
or would it but to much pressure on spring

[Ken / Claudia]

My advice check with a RV dealer or shop. Maybe make sure you have the right tire size, axles are aligned correctly. See if they advise to raise it any further. Make sure it has the right axle for that trailer. Tires blow out for many reasons, mainly overloaded or to old. But, without seeing the tire and knowing more about it, we are just guessing.

Probably have it fixed by now, but if your actually turning the axles over to get spring pads on the top or bottom then that is your issue as the axles have a radius built into them so when weight is added they flatten out some but still keeps tires pretty much straight. The radius or hump in the axle tube should be on the top not the bottom.
