Are you going to move the axles back over the next winter? It looks like the fenders were welded to the frame rails too, or else it wouldn't really big too big of a job to slice off the spring mounts and move them back half a foot or so. I doubt your drive guard added more than 100 lbs so that's probably not upsetting your balance compared to how it was originally. Even having to slice off the fenders and move them back isn't really that bad, a weekend project for everything.

Obviously you would have to repaint and I assume that's your main concern.

The dually will help with the control, but it sounds like it's more of a band-aid for a trailer that still has issues and could put you in a dangerous situation. Would hate to see anything happen to the boat or worse.

So this trailer is not set up right , thats why my tongue weight is light, thats why it sways uncontrollably with the X, thats why I have to buy a another truck. I have no idea why those axles are so far forward.
Too late now I just redid the whole thing so I`m keeping it, don`t know what else to do.
