5x8 Trailer Frame Build Guide

Sale Price:$27.00 Original Price:$67.00
sale

The first step of any DIY teardrop build is the trailer frame.

You’d think getting a trailer frame would be the easy part, right? Unfortunately finding a quality trailer frame fit for a DIY teardrop trailer can be fairly tricky.

Your trailer frame is the foundation of your teardrop. Unfortunately we’ve heard horror stories of frames that were not designed for a teardrop trailer and could not handle the extensive use they go through.

With this guide you will have the knowledge and tools to build, or buy a safe, strong, teardrop trailer frame.

You’ll have access to:

PDF Build Guide.

The 3D SketchUp model

Step-by-Step instructions

Materials & Parts list (WITH LINKS!)

COMPLETE CUT LIST!

A list of every piece of hardware you will need

The Trailer Frame Build Guide provides you with the specs, parts, and materials for building a 5’x8’ trailer frame for your DIY teardrop, as well as recommended modifications for popular bolt together frames. (Use this guide to help you with any size frame, however the cut list and materials will be different.)

We go in depth about leaf spring, Torsion Half -axle, and Timbren suspension to help you decide which is right for your build. Because these axles vary in how they are installed, we include the specs and steps for installing all three types.
