    convert single axle to double

    i have a 2008 nitro z7 with a single axle trailer. it was not available with a double axle. i plan on taking it on longer trips in the summer and would be more comfortable if it were a double axle.

    is this something that can be done and retain it's current look and brake operation?

    If you have disc brakes, you'll need to change out the push rod & spring assy in the actuator...If you have a torsion axle it wont be too hard to install the second axle and the brake lines, if you have a spring axle, that will require more work and the springs,hangers and hardware.

    If you do go with two axles make sure to reposition both axles for the correct tongue weight.
