I just bought a Majestic Sierra 2. 2015 model. I would like to underslung the axels and put a bit bigger tyres on for a bit more ground clearens. Currently it has 15inch rims on and I am thinking ither just a larger tyre (semi off-road) or 16 inch rims. Any advice please
Hi there, welcome to the forum.
I asked a similar question a few weeks ago in the techies section. Tou may find more information there.
There are a lot of things to consider when doing the lift.
Do a search in the techie section and best of luck.
Cheers.

Notwithstanding that you have titled the thread "Underslung axles", the terms over and under refers to the position of the springs relative to the axle, not the other way around. What you appear to be looking to do is to OVERsling (the springs).
You will need to be aware of this when reading up on or discussing this as it can get pretty confusing. And other posts will not always be clear or correct.

Before doing that.
If you do it ploperly, It'll be more stable.
Jack van up. On axle stands.
Drop suspension from chassis down.
Normally they just angle iron welded or bolted to chassis
with suspension welded to that.
Get another section of 2x2\3x2\4x2\6x2. Welded on both side rails.
then add existing susp back onto them.
They'll both lift you, and if you run them out to rear jacks, or front drawbar rail
will strengthen whole chassis.
Just a thort.
The whole rig rocking on a coupla U bolts. Sitting under the springs. Does nothing for me thank's.
G'day Macka, that's an interesting concept except it adds weight which is one of my bug-bears.
I had thought of getting longer links (if that is possible) between the rear spring & the chassis mount - or changing the suspension to something else eg Timbren Axleless. I'll discuss it with a local trailer manufacturer here after next week's trip west.
