22" wouldn't put much of a moment-arm on the frame, but how strong the
frame is, is the real question. 2" C- section? 4"? 6"? Supported at the
wheels and the hitch, or jacked-up around the perimeter in various
spots?

I'd say 22" doesn't seem like much of a gain, and if putting a footing
in IS an option, can you make it a lot bigger than 22"? Build as big as
you can get away with, and can afford.


I'm not too sure what the measurements on the frame are. I know towards the
back where the wheels go (there are no wheels now) it is double framed. The
frame itself seems pretty darn hefty and is in good shape. The trailer is
supported by eight piers (cinder blocks) on concrete pads, so it's pretty
firmly placed.
