Anyone have any issues with the trailer being really low to the ground for a 22ve? I just got a 2007 22ve and the back is so low to the ground it is scraping etc. Anyone got any ideas?

You may need to drop the front. Park your rig on the mostes levelist ground you can find. Measure from the tongue to the pavement, and from the frame behind the rear axle to the pavement and see how level the trailer is sitting. Adjust as needed with a draw bar with more drop. This will also improve tire wear and braking.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And More -
My first trailer does the same thing and it is just about perfectly level. The prop gaurd of the trailer drags in certain situations. Such as pulling in and out of my driveway, or any other driveway with an inclined concrete ramp into the lot. I have learned that angle is the key, having one tire hit the transition before the other. That seems to be the trick. Since I started that stratagy no more dragging. If you are tight on manuevering room that may not be an option for you. Try it and see.
My trailer also had a metal support under the prop that is bolted to the rear most cross member and then forward to the next. It pointed down about and inch or so, and it was the first thing that drug on the driveway. I removed it, cut about 3/4 inch off of it and reinstalled it thus making in less likely to drag.
There also are wheels/drums that can be attached probably by welding that will roll before the frame of the trailer contacts the ground. I have seen these on the M/C trailersI don't want to go to work, take me wake surfing instead!Comment

Low trailer
I had exactly the same problem. Somewhere on this site there were pictures of some modifications that others made on their trailer. My trailer is made by Dorsey and I went to their website www.trailersbydorsey. There is a good picture under options and it is a prop guard roller kit. I then ordered some wheels for about $30 and a welder charged me $30 to weld them on. I think I got the wheels from Grainger Supply and they shipped them to me. They are real heavy duty metal wheels that have enclosed bearings in them. This set up works awesome for me. I would take some pictures and post them, but the trailer is at the lake and I won't be there for a couple of weeks. I will get pictures though as I have a buddy here that wants to do the same thing. The Dorsey pictures are pretty good example and works great.Comment
