Wheel base distances

[BITStone]

Hello all, We're the new proud parents of a 2022 Geo-Pro FBS, just won't be actually taking possession for a few weeks. I am building out a stone pad to park it at my house but want to see if I can put in brick where the wheels will rest so they don't have to sit on the stones. Can someone with the same model or an e-pro measure and tell me the distance from the rear bumper to the axle?
Then maybe I can place pavers where they need to be.
Thanks much in advance

Your choice…..but tires parked on stones will allow better draining and air circulation under the tires.

Just my $0.02.

I was just thinking that it would be less wear on the tire to be on a more even surface. That said I plan to support the weight with the levelers so maybe its better to stick with the stones. I'll keep that in mind. thanks for the note.

Levelers or stabilizers? Stabilizers are not designed to support any weight at all.

You're right, the scissor jacks are just stabilizers and apparently should only be dropped low enough to be snug, but not to lift.

Then that begs another question: should I do anything to lift the trailer while on the stone pad if its going to sit there for a few weeks at a time? The pad should already be level but will there be any issues with the suspension or tires? I have an antique car that I lift using car jacks over the winter to prevent flat spots on the tires and ease the suspension. Do I need to do anything like that similar for the trailer?

Nothing needed that I'm aware of. ST tires should be inflated to maximum cold sidewall pressure anyway. Even if they flat spot you'll never know as no one is riding in the trailer. Been winter storing boats, campers, and cars for decades without problems regarding tires or suspension. YMMV.

If the gravel bothers you a few, probably four, 12" square concrete pavers placed where the tires will end up will put them on a smooth surface. Buck and a half (each) at Lowes.
