Sup fellas. Well my question is, I have a A22 with a dual axle trailer. In order to store it in my garage I had to fit it with some finesse. I backed it into my garage then pushed the tongue to the left in order to make it fit. Now I hope I make sense when explaining this, turning the trailer by the tongue kinda of tweaked the tires a little bit. By tweaked I mean since the tires flex on a dual axle trailer, they are flexed at an angel right now. I hope that made sense. Its been sitting like that since the end of Nov. I wont be able to adjust it for a month or so more due to me being out of the country. Will this cause or will there be any damage because of this? I asked the dealership when I bought if it would hurt the trailer and the answer I got was, it wont but it may be a little bumpy when I first start to drive it but eventually loosen back up and be fine. Any truth to this. Just trying to get more info on this. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas.

I know what you mean. It's no harm to the tires but I have wondered the same thing about the stress sharp turnarounds at boat ramps put on the axles/wheels because the dual axles will get out of alignment from each other in those sharp turns. If you are only doing this for winter storage you can get these to lift, then easily spin your trailer and set it back down.

AJ I appreciate it brotha. That's is exactly what I need. As you probably know its a little difficulty to turn the trailer on a dual axle by the tongue, so this will help me from looking like an idiot in front of all my neighbors ha!. Thanks again

A set of 4 of those is anywhere from $350-$500. My friend has a lot of nice cars in his metal barn and we use these dollies to move them into tight spaces. His teenage daughter can move the cars by herself on them.

oh nice. thats a lot cheaper than i thought it would be. So for now you dont think there will be any damage from the axle or tires sitting the way they are for 3mos or so?

You'll be good. When you tow your boat just adjust your mirrors do you can see the wheels/tires and look for vibration. It'll feel just like a tire is out of balance but a little worse. You'll feel it in your stearing wheel as well
