Hi Guys... dont shoot me.

[ExpeditionXJ]

I'm a Jeeper who enjoys the backcountry and Overland style of wheeling... not into the rockcrawling scene anymore.

To that end i just picked up a homemade trailer which started life as a early-mid 60's step side. This will be used for carrying gear, my roof tent etc. heres a pic..



I need some info if ya'll would be kind enough.

Whats the wheel bolt pattern? It's 6 lug.

I need to raise the trailer tongue about 5" to sit level behind the Cherokee. I plan to replace the 31" tires on now to 33's, and somehow add a few inches to the suspension. Has anyone replaced the coils with something for 3" lift, or does someone make a coil spacer for this? Considering air bags in the future.

I will be removing the fenders and fabbing a set that resemble a 1/4 ton military Jeep trailer, also replacing the axle with a 3500# trailer axle. Anyone know the width of this rear axle?

Appreciate any info or links to help me out.

John
