it did make it just fine, no damage.
front axle is bent, started out that way.
i talked with the manuf about replacing the axles with bigger axles (current ones are 3700 lb with 14" tires and that is the biggest ya can get with 5 lug) and i can get the axles made with disk brakes and actuator for about $1500, would also need new wheels and tires (15" with 6 lug), the springs are rated at at 2k each so that's good but the 8k trailer is constructed with 3x5 tubing and the one i have is 2x4.
so i could upgrade this trailer but it is still slightly small, just depends on what i can find.
again, just putting the word out in case anyone knows of something laying around.
