Default BT5210 Added steel drag wheels

On my 2021 BT 5210 I noticed the rear would drag on the pavement with seemingly slight changes in driveway transitions like at gas stations. The existing drag bars did the job of protecting the coaches rear end equipment but the dragging of steel on pavement was un-nerving. I have had wheels on a TT I had and they did a good job. I decided on the steel wheels as they are going to hold up better to the weight of the RV. I used Ultrafab 3” hitch mount type that use U bolts to mount them. I did not want to remove the existing drag bars as they could assist the rollers if needed. I did want the wheels to be just a bit lower so that the wheels would contact the road surface first. I was able to make spacers that allowed the wheels to be lower than the drag bars. I had to add 2 spacers to each U-bolt to make this happen.
