I would rather have something with a track than a wheel due to the displacement of the weight using a track. I have 12" centers on my step deck and I would be apprehensive about using pine unless I put it on top of the old wood. I might be more inclined to use sheets of plywood rather than pine until I could afford the apitong. Neither will last all that long. The apitong on my trailer is 1 1/8" I believe. Do you plan on taking up the old wood before putting someting else down on your trailer?
Yea, I have to take off all the old wood. Its all broken and rotten. I really don't have another choice but to take off all the wood. I just bought this trailer and need to get it on the road asap. It's a 94 Fontaine 48x102, fixed spread, AirRide, Dump Valve, 22.5LP, 36 inch ride height. I really wanted a 53x102, but got this one pretty cheap. I figured the ride height was sweet it being on 22.5's, so I jumped on the opportunity.
