Building an 8遅16 gooseneck dump trailer

No look the skids or shoes are right there bent up front and rear.....

Yeah....I see that...wonder what the big deal is?
Maybe it’s nothing to worry about?

It's not anything that would bother me. For it to be "wrong" the jacks would have to be welded on the frame "wrong" and the foot pads would both have to be welded on the leg extensions "wrong". Not particularly likely because one error would be the jack manufacturer's, one error on PJ's part.

The pads are oriented correctly, the drop leg pins are easy to grab, the jacks go up & down.

Just makes me wonder Rick. If jacks are welded wrong, maybe it was built on a Monday after the Super Bowl??

You guys are jumping to the conclusion that something is wrong. Fact is, something is different than what you are used to seeing but not necessarily wrong. Drop leg jacks are built in different configurations. A jack built just like the one on that PJ is on the linked page.

Easy now Peter 315. After all, you said you drive yourself NUTS looking for everything.
I will find out tomorrow if its still there. Some of those ads are very old.
800/12 hours miles is no easy drive, either.

I just spent $38,000 on a new Round Baler on Saturday. Starting to feel “cheap” now. :laughing:

Yea I wasn't going to say anything. What difference does it make which way the handles for the feet face? Mine all pount towards the vehicle. And thats from the jack manufacturer not trailer manufacturer.
