Hi all, I'm a long time reader, but post very rarely b/c normally I can find the answer to what I need by searching. But I'm looking for a different perspective on this trailer.
Here's the issue: When I put the 3 Good-One Patio 30 smokers on my trailer (or any heavy load) the trailer rocks back and forth while driving down the road.
The trailer: It's a bed from a '49 Ford bolted to a flat bed trailer. I'm not sure what the axle is from. It started out old and rusted. I did some body work, and had the whole thing sprayed with Rhino Liner. (pictures below)
So how do I keep this thing from rocking back and forth? Putting on shocks? Change leaf springs? Balancing the load is a bit difficult as it's only about a 4'x7' internal measurements. What are your ideas? Thanks in advance!
