That's how the trailer my V is on is set up. However this one the spring hangers are U-bolted to the frame. A simple loosening of the U-bolts and sliding them back a few inches would be easy enough. But I seriously doubt the U-bolts will come free. I've been PB blasting them for a couple days so hopefully I'll get lucky. If I have trouble selling it I'll probably buy the 6 U bolts and take care of it myself. I read somewhere you get 10-15 lbs per inch of axle movement either way. I'm with MacoJoe though. I just do it til I can't lift it any more.
