Making some progress. Axle hopefully here before next weekend! Been working on the trailer spare all week, finally finished. I may need to add some gussets to the top of the rail, it has some flex since the bottom leverage point is only a few inches below the rail, but I will have to wait and see. I may be able to move the whole thing down based on how the trailer sits on the new tires, and just add a skid plate. I don't want to catch the tire on the ground and rip the entire tailgate off
