mackr1989 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 i need a second heavy spec 10 wheeler and want a granite but theyre hard to find in the northeast with 58 rears. id like to just buy a granite triaxle, take whatever rears it has right out, shorten the frame and put 58s in it. is this possible to do? will the frame allow this?

41180 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I don't see why you couldn't do that. we once pulled air ride out of a CL and put Hendrickson walking beam in it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49670-replacing-46-rears-with-58s/#findComment-368544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekennedy21 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Only issue I see with it is adjusting the gvw to 70,000 to 73,000 on 3 axles. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49670-replacing-46-rears-with-58s/#findComment-370284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
