    26DBH Underslung Axle and SumoSprings

    I finally had my axles switched from an overslung to underslung position. I was really tired of having the trailer scratch while entering exit driveways and such.

    Trying to do some brake work on my trailer, and it appears the wrong axle sticker was applied to both my axles.
