opinions needed on modification

Ok so we got through the whole tire blowing out fiasco and decided to change our tires from 205/75R15 to 225/75R15 after learning that is what crossroads is putting on our size trailer now. However after we put the tires we realized how close the angle piece with the hole is to the tire so my husband whats to cut it back. Does anyone know any reason why this bar would have to stay mm away from the tires instead of inches???

Are you talking about the angle iron for the shock mount? If so, you can cut that back. This stems from an issue several years ago when the bracket was hitting tires. The fix was to cut it back and remount the shocks.
