Does it have a drop axle or straight axle?

T-bone, this thread is off and running, but I think my record of 6 pages on such a dull subject is safe. do you use regular air to inflate your tires or the new nitrogen?

Nitrogen ain't new. Been around several billion years or so!

Straight axle, but it does have a slight camber (upward bend in the middle of the axle) built in to compensate for the weight on the axle. I use straight air from my compressor, and I always make sure that there is a full 65# cold PSI in the tires. I think the blocking lift method would be best, but I was open to ideas. I can't raise it too much, or else it will be too high and pull nose down behind the owner's Suburban. Even raising it 2" would probably buy me the room I need to put 14" tires on, maybe even 15".
