Thanks Klassic for your measurements. Was 33 1/4" inside the axle tubes or on center? An I mportant note for me, as my inside measurement was 30 1/4" and then add 3" (axle dia) for them to be on center, I then get 33 1/4". Then Tom said the 85s have a diameter of 31.7" in post#71, so running the numbers 33.25 - 31.7=1.55" tire gap. And 1.5" is two finger widths for me which is what I have on the passenger loaded side, but not what I see on a loaded driver side. However, all my reports above were based on our current parked and leveled position. So right now there is currently >two fingers width gap on drivers side. Explains why axles are parallel right now.

Last night I measured my axles to be 3" dia exactly(noted above), and the square tubing spacer is also exactly 3" tall. So that begins to explain it, how Lippert swapped spring location, and whatever else adjustments to the hangers to allow for the 2" taller 12" Ibeam.

Yes. Center to center.

I'm so curious now, I am going to poke around at the dealer tomorrow. They are 2 minutes down the street from me.
I just go for something to do sometimes. Lol.

Also I think the Sailun's are slightly bigger then my Goodyears. Explains you having a slightly smaller gap.

With the 85's now on your rims, that is quite interesting how you're still getting 2 1/4" according to the mathematics of tire and axle spacing. It's almost like having the 80s on there, unless Goodyear accidentally made a factory boo boo. Anyways, next Monday morning the wife and I tow the 377, first to Discount Tires to get my metal valve stems installed, then they say they can balance them too. Then, it's off to Middlebury IN, to give it over to Jayco to repair the big stress crack, install the MorRyde Shackle upgrade kit I bought, which might have something to do with the narrow tire gap, which is on the list, and 40 other items on my list. We hope to get it back by Aug 10 for our trip to WY for the total solar eclipse Aug 21. I'll keep you guys posted of the outcome.

I had a way bigger gap with the 80's
Now I can once again use my RotoChoks
