| tire clearance
How much tire clearance do you have - can you put a taller (not wider) tire on it? Two other ideas - if possible, you could put air bags on the axle- and pump up for the rough stuff gaining the sag inherent in the beginning of the axle travel - however, you probably would "lock out" your axle, making for a very stiff ride for the trailer over the bumps.
The dura torq is bolted to the chassis- it might be possible to weld a lengths of square tubing to the bottom of the chassis rails, and then bolt the axle to this. Again, one does not know what that would do to the towability of the trailer - it would raise its CG above where it is now.
One last idea is to skid plate the bottom of the trailer from the front to the back (attaching to the frame, not the bellypan). Just "slide" over the bumps!
Good luck with the spot!
