jlg 350 axle widening

our company just bought a used jlg 350 trailerable lift. Our problem is that where we use it, the terrain is not flat and the lifts axle is narrow making for a tippy situation. Without actually replacing the axle could we and wheel spacers and then use wider tires? Or if replacing the axle is an option, would i need a special axle becasue of the tortion brackets?

any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

From a safety stand point (OSHA & lawyers), any modifications made to this equipment needs to be approved by the manufacturer or their authorized representative (dealer).
Best to contact a local dealer with completed model number & serial number. Back yard engineering/modifications can get you into more issues than you bargained for.
