    Yeah MR they're not cheap plus getting them welded on etc. Its that 750kg thats critical. When I was rego'ing my trailer even though its got brakes and a 1500kg axle etc
    its only regoed as a 750 kg job, even though its very close to that empty, about 550-600 kg .
    Go buy another trailer, thats my take on it, trade yours in.

    The less I can spend the better, probably really need to spend some time with a suspension mob and/or trailer mob.

    I suppose this cheap options. But they're a bit far away. Freight would bump the price up.

    i did not even look where they were Mick, just googled "trailer Parts" you will find someone closer for sure or call them for a price.

    give Sparks Trailers a call in Geelong, they'd sell everything you need

    I have decided to go with the Ironman LoadPlus for the boat trailer.
    After speaking to Ironman head office and one of their distributors, we come to a conclusion that this will work on a boat trailer.
    So much so, that the distributor didn't know that the LoadPlus will work on boat trailers, so he tried it on his jetski trailer which he loads up when camping.

    He keeps it on all the time, just loosens the nuts when no load and tightens up when trailer load up. Taddaaaaarrrrrr!!!!

    Huntsman trailers on Ebay sell the lot. Not far away either.
    Was just at a trailer mob this morning $800 for their off road hitch,
    It's the bees knees and pricing should fall
