Now we argue about whether it should keep the factory drum brakes, or convert to disc. Then we need to know which master it uses...

Well of course it will have DIY4x4 disc brake caliper brackets on it.

Yeah, but he doesn't do parking brakes

That would work however, since we are putting tool boxes under the table, the tires would still be in the way.
If I were to ditch the tool box idea, I'd definitely do it that way.
inboard the tires maybe to the dead space ?
How were you going to mount the wheels so that they could be removed and avoid the tool boxes? That sounds like a PITA???

What if you mounted the wheels so that they are slightly touching the ground or maybe like 1/4 off the ground, but toward the opposite end from where the table would be tilted. So the wheels are off the ground when the table is in position but when you lift the end up high enough the table basicaly leans into the wheels.
I don't know if that makes sense or if it just sounds like nonsense.

like these drilling rig tank / trailers .
when not hookd up / tilted the wheels don't realy do a thing . but when you pick up the trailer to the truck king pin the wheels come in to play .

I had planned on lug nutting them to the 14BFF hubs.
ok sorry you just lost me at post #45. I'm sure whatever you end up doing it'll be a good deal.
link it with air bags, plumb it to shop air to raise it up, dump the air to set it back on it's feet. it doesn't need to flex so the link geometry doesn't had to be anything special.
yo mannn next thing you going to tell him to do is add dingly balls on the windshield and put on some 100 spoke wire rims and drive it low and slow .

It also needs a pinion gaurd but I'm assuming that's already installed?
I fully support this idea.
I think a small welded chain steering wheel that reaches up to the forklift operator, lift rear with the forks and then steer with the table wheel, hydraulics are a must for that bounce yo!
I like that idea, and the non-air forklift tires. It would require modification to the existing framework you put on (but you have the tools and ability), and you would lose a little room for drawers, but you won't ever have to jack up/down and bolt/unbolt wheels EVER. The time that saves over the years would be HUGE (and your knees and back will thank you as). Inboard the forklift tires on the 14 bolt hubs so you aren't restricted working around the table and then just grab and go with the forklift when needed.
