Sounds huge!!
I'm interested to know what axles you've got to get 3 tonne?

Next on my trailer list for myself is a car carrier... after I finish the two I've currently started.

Dingo
you can always cut axle and weld stub axle onto longer 40 or 45mm square steel, this is what we did to get the height lower. In trailer talk this is a overlay axle.

Shanes current axle will do perfectly now we've decided on the Siggy rims. You're right about the overlay, but it's not something I'd recommend for the home welder. Firstly, only a 3 phase welder will get the heat and penetration required to weld it safely. And secondly, without a jig, it's difficult to get the stubs lined up for correct wheel alignment. Even with the jig, our welders at Al-Ko used to mark which side was welded first as this gave a slight toe-in to the axle.

And Shane... It wasn't Waldo!!
