Adjusting the axles on your trailer is a surefire way to get the proper weight distribution needed to safely carry your load. It is important to start with the 41-inch mark between the axles, as that is where the weight needs to be evenly distributed across the trailer for safety and performance.

The entire process is straightforward and doesn’t require excessive force. A gentle motion is all that’s necessary for the desired outcome. After securely locking the axle, make sure to count how many pins you’ve moved for your own records. This practice aids in accurately tracking any adjustments made.

Remember, proper weight distribution is very important, not only in terms of measurements but also for the sake of safety on the road due to you and others around it. The peace of mind involved with taking care of the essentials could result in a smoother towing process and extend the life of your trailer and vehicle.
