Video Transcript for TruRyde Trailer Suspension TRSS175 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at a spring seat for typical 2,000 pound, round trailer axles, with a 1-3/4 inch diameter. The spring seat is a necessary component of your trailer's suspension system. When mounted with a 1-3/4 inch wide leaf spring, it adds extra support and provides proper positioning for the axle. This unit's made from a durable steel construction. It welds on to a round 1-3/4 inch diameter axle, which is a typical 2,000 axle. It sits on top of a 1-3/4 inch wide spring. The cut out on the flat side of the seat surrounds the raised knob on the leaf spring to prevent turning or shifting.
It's going to provide extra support and secure positioning for the trailer axle. Please note that two spring seats are required for each axle. A few measurements to go over with you real quick. Start with the overall length, measuring edge to edge. It's going to measure about 2-1/4 of an inch long. Overall width, measures about 1-7/8 of an inch.
The height, is just shy of 1 inch, about 15/16 of an inch tall. Then this opening, right here, the rounded point, at the widest spot, that's going to give us an opening measurement of really close to an 1-1/2, maybe 1-7/16 of an inch, right in that area. That's going to do it for today's look at the spring seat for typical 2,000 pound, round trailer axles, with a 1-3/4 inch diameter.

I havent really gotten a chance to use the trailer much since my purchase of the leaf springs. But they went on perfect and the stance is perfect. With a weight load , they should be just right.
by: Brian m.08/05/2017
These brackets used in conjunction with the new u-bolt kit made switching my trailer axle from being above spring to under spring.
This has raised the trailer about 3 inches in height from stock. I have a new set of wheel and tires coming and this should take care of the slight slope as seen in the picture.
After installing everything, I took the trailer for a test drive and it tracked nicely and behaved very good on the road. No problems.
by: Arthur04/07/2023
First and foremost, working with etrailer was a pleasure. They were veery helpful in many ways. Secondly, Theproducts I purchased were exactly what I needed. I flipped the axle on my utility trailer in order to beef up the springs and use larger tires. The u-bolt kits were oerfect, and after having the spring seats welded onto the axle the rest of the job went smoothly. All in all 5 out of 5.
by: John 07/17/2023
Perfect for an axle leaf over mod. Welded on easily and appear very sturdy. I need to rebuild the hubs and complete the frame modifications before reinstalling the axle.
by: Richard01/12/2018
I was adding some supports to a trailer deck for a friend and noticed the spring seats were rusted away, found the parts quickly on etrailer shipping was fast and the trailer is ready to get back on the road.
The spring seats and u bolts kit were very reasonably priced and do the job they are supposed to do.
by: Joshua04/23/2021
so far so good, just did a shake down test, all good. The trailer went straight and true. Now just waiting on my other order to come in so I can put some weight on the truck and trailer for the real test.

These nests are kind of hard to get wrong really. I welded them into position, haven’t thought about them since. So,… I mean,… that’s good right?

The only mistake I made was not ordering two axle saddles. I thought my order was for a pair, so I only ordered one. My mistake.

Solid, took a weld like a champ!
by: Ryan01/30/2017
Plus:
Good products for a super low price. Accomplished the goal of bringing life back to a dead trailer. The leaf springs ride much better than the stock rubber torsion axle. The new hubs and bearings roll much easier than the worn out ones they replaced.
Minus:
A little disappointed in the spring bushing. It seemed like cheap plastic and was quite a bit larger than the bolt so it fit loosely. This was the only real negative I have about the purchased, and that's pretty minor.
Tips for etrailer:
Providing a height of the spring would make spring selection easier. In our case we were starting with scratch for mounting springs, no preexisting mounting hardware. Knowing the height of the spring from mount to axle would have been helpful in selecting a spring for the proper ride height. In a snowmobile trailer application an inch or two in height makes a bit difference in approach angle when loading a sled. This was about the only measurement not listed for springs so we guessed, and it came out well for us in the end.

Exactly what I needed.
by: John H12/02/2012
Bought these along with the UBolt kit for a Coleman popup camper to do an "axle flip" or move the axle from above the springs to below the springs giving 3-4 inches of additional clearance. My popup has a 1.75" axle and Dexter doesn't make prefab kits for that axle. Spring seats had to be welded to my axle, but beyond that, the axle flip worked OUTSTANDING! If you go off road at all with your camper, I can't recommend enough doing this. Should have done it years ago! Spring seats worked great!

I ordered a couple of the 1- 3/4 U bolts from eTrailer as well. Yes, weld up the perches opposite the old ones but be sure to take some time to make sure theyre aligned both vertically and horizontally. I used a level to compare the top plane of the new perches with the bottom plane of the old ones with the axle upside down and clamped it in place before welding.

Thanks for responding to DC's question. The u-bolt kit that John is referencing is # APUBR-10.

I purchased a number of products from etrailer and I am very pleased with them all. The shipper lost my axle. When I contacted etrailer customer service, they handled my problem quickly and I had a replacement axle in a couple days. Well done!
The products were all of high quality and the assemble was much easier as a result. I have attached a few pictures of the build for those interested.
Thanks etrailer for your great products and service!!

Needed "spring over" conversion on Teardrop type camper. Dexter axle required these to do it right. Perfect fit. Time from order to shipping was longer than anticipated. So parts, availability and knowledge are great, delivery time disappointing.

Thanks for checking All working as needed
by: Jeffrey11/20/2017
Works as advertised. I had a local welder put these onto the axle for me. I ended up needing them since my harbor freight trailer had a metric dimensional spacing between the mounts and the axle I bought had a standard inches dimensional spacing. They were off by less than 1 inch, but I couldn't make it fit unless I welded on these brackets at the correct location for the trailer.

I have a Coleman Tent trailer and our favorite camp sites are off road. I decided to flip the axle to gain some off road clearances and level the trailer being towed by either my Truck or Jeep which have lift kits. I purchased these parts, installed and I am stoked! Great product and was easy to install. Parts were of great quality and shipped quickly. I will most definitely trust etrailer and highly recommend them. Thanks etrailer!!

- Parts Required to do Over/Under Conversion on 1-3/4 Axle on Tractor Supply TrailerFrom what I was able to determine the Tractor Supply trailer you have likely has a 2000-lbs axle on it, which has a 1-3/4" diameter axle. There isn't a specific over/under conversion kit for that size axle but you can use 2 of the spring seat # TRSS175 and weld them on either end of your axle and then use the # APUBR-10 u-bolts you were looking at to complete the process. It should be noted that you need to have a qualified welder perform the installation of the spring seats.
view full answer... - Can Spring Seats On Trailer Axle Be Moved To Match Trailer Frame?They sure can! What you will need to do is replace the spring seats that are currently welded on the axle in question, and have a qualified welder weld them in the correct location to match your trailer. Now the correct spring seats will be dependent on the diameter of your axle tube. The most common sizes are the 1-3/4" # TRSS175 which is common for 2000lb axles, the 2-3/8" # TRSS238 which is common for 3500lb axles, or the 3" # TRSS300 which are common for 5200-7000lb axles. I included...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Do an Over-Under Kit on a 1-3/4 inch Trailer AxleWhen you use an over under kit like the part # K71-385-00 you end up gaining a lift that measures the diameter of your axle, plus the spring seat, and the thickness of your leaf springs. You will need to measure those items on your trailer to determine the amount of lift you would need. Since we don't have a kit designed to fit a 1-3/4 inch diameter axle, and since you aren't completely sure that is the diameter of your axle you will need to verify this before I can piece you together...
view full answer... - Recommended Axle Upgrade For Vintage TrailerBased on the picture you provided you are actually measuring from the inside of the drum to the inside of the drum, and not to the actual hub face. Since you are getting 62" inside to inside you are actually probably closer to 72" hub face to hub face. The closest standard axle we have to that length is the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 72" Long - 2,200 lbs # T20BTR-EZ-7258 which has a hub face to hub face measurement of 72" and a spring center to spring center...

- Adding Lift To 2003 Jayco Single Axle Tent TrailerI spoke with my contact at Jayco about your 2003 single axle trailer. There is no lift kit available but we may have an option for you. If your 1-3/4 inch axle is round and you have underslung leaf springs, I recommend installing a new spring seat on top of the axle, like the Spring Seat for Typical 2000-lb, Round Trailer Axles, part # TRSS175. Simply flipping the axle is not an option because axles are made with a slight arc so that they can handle the load on the trailer. When placed...

- Availability Of a 2,000LB Trailer Axle With 66-1/2" Hub Face and Electric Trailer BrakesWhile we do not have a axle which fits your exact dimensions we do have the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange # TRU27FR. With 2 of these you can have an axle welded up with 2 Spring Seats # TRSS175 in the dimensions you are needing. Then you will be able to attach the Brakes # AKEBRK-2 and Hub/Drums # 8-173-16UC3-EZ.
view full answer... - Replacement Axle And Leaf Springs For A 4' x 6' Single Axle Trailer It is possible to replace your 62" long axle with a longer one. Our next size up is going to be a 72" long 2K rated axle like part # e32GR. The axle being 72" across measured from hub-face to hub-face. This axle comes with 5 on 4-1/2" idler hubs, which will allow for a ton of tire/wheel combos. In order to use our axle you would likely need to relocate the spring seats. We sell them individually with part # TRSS175. From the looks of things, you would need a new u-bolt kit # CE23000 as...

- How to Correct Trailer Whose Spring Hangers Do Not Line Up With Spring SeatsYou will need to have the spring seats removed to have them or new spring seats welded to your axle at the correct locations to match your trailer's hanger spacing. For a 3-inch round axle rated between 5200- and 7200-lbs use part # TRSS300; for a 2-3/8-inch diameter 3500-lb axle use part # TRSS238; for a 1-3/4-inch diameter 2000-lb round axle use part # TRSS175. If you cannot re-position the spring seats to match the hanger spacing then you can have a qualified welder install new material...
view full answer... - Can an Axle Over Under Kit be Made for 1-3/4 inch Trailer AxleIf you are okay with removing the fenders or going to a larger one that would probably be your simplest route and the way I would go if I were you. We don't have an axle over under kit for your axle size, but we could piece together one if you like. All you would need for an over-under kit for a 1-3/4 inch round axle would be the U-bolt kit part # APUBR-10 and the spring seat part # TRSS175. You would need two of the spring seats. Then for a 14-inch wheel and tire we have the part # AM3S414...
view full answer... - Option For 60 Inch Trailer AxleSince it appears nobody makes hubs for myWe do have axles with 60 inch hub face to hub face measurements. This is a 2,000 lb axle, though the spring centers measure 48 inches. What you can do though is have new springs welded on at the location you need with Spring Seat # TRSS175. This axle is the Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 60" Long - 2,000 lbs # e48GR. Then for the hubs, the right one for you will depend on if you need a hub with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern or 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, as well as your wheel...
view full answer... - Does Over Under Kit for 1-3/4 inch Axle Require WeldingAll you would need for an over-under kit for a 1-3/4 inch round axle would be the U-bolt kit part # APUBR-10 and the spring seat part # TRSS175 that you referenced. You would need two of the spring seats. You will need to weld the spring seats into place.
view full answer... - Replacement 2,200 LB Axle With Spring Seats On Top Of AxleSince axles are designed with an arc, turning the axle over to accommodate the spring seat attachment is not an option. You will want to have a new spring seat like part # TRSS175 welded to the top of the axle by a certified welder. Most local mechanics or muffler shops have the equipment to be able to get this done.
view full answer... - Replacement Spring Seats for a 2,000 Pound Trailer AxleSince we do not have a close enough match for what you are looking for in an axle the best solution is to move the springs seats were you need to or weld on new ones. Welding on new ones will be easier. We always recommend that any welding that needs to be done is performed by a professional welder. The spring seat for a 2,000 pound, 1-3/4 inch diameter axle is # TRSS175. These are sold in a quantity of 1. If you have a different axle diameter let me know. We currently have spring seats...
view full answer... - 72" Hub Face Trailer Axle With 60" Spring Center and Idler HubsWhile we do not have an axle which has the 60" spring center you are able to use the Dexter Trailer Axle # 20545I-ST-72-15 and have 2 new Spring Seats # TRSS175 welded on. This will allow you to cut off the spring seats at a 58" spring center and new seats welded to 60" spring centers. The axle includes the 5 on 4-1/2" idler hubs with the bearings and seals needed.
view full answer... - Can Leaf Springs be Mounted to the Top of Dexter Trailer Axle # 20440I-EZ-60You should not flip an axle upside down because axles have a bow in them at the center which helps give them their capacity. But all you would have to do is weld on new spring seats to the top of the axle. For axle # 20440I-EZ-60 you would need 2 of spring seat # TRSS175.
view full answer... - Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Be Installed Under or Over Leaf SpringsIf you installed a set of spring seats on the opposite of the axle # 20545I-EZ-60-15 you would be able to install the axle in a setup that has the springs either above or below the springs. For spring seats you then would want the part # TRSS175. Some refer to this process as "flipping the axles," but since axle has a slight bow to it you can't just flip them and reinstall them under the springs using the same spring seats. You have to install new spring seats on the opposite side of...
view full answer... - Spring Seat for Trailer Axle that is Getting Moved to Other Side of Leaf SpringsYou'll need to weld new spring seats on the opposite side of the axle so that you can move the axle to the other side of the leaf springs. So since I don't know what diameter axle you have you'd need to measure to be sure. The part # TRSS300 is for 3 inch diameter axles that are normally between 5,200 and 7,200 lb. Part # TRSS350 is for 3-1/2 inch diameter axles like what are 8k axles, # TRSS175 is for 1-3/4 inch 2,000 lb rated axle, and # TRSS238 is for 2-3/8 diameter 3,500 lb axles.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Axle For 5' X 8' Ironton Trailer With 15" Diameter Wheels and TiresBased on the Dimensions of the 5'x8' Ironton trailer you are most likely to need the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e37YR. This axle places the hub faces at 72" which is 6 inches wider than the bed size of your utility trailer. The spring center to spring center is 58" and if this does not exactly match your trailer you can weld 2 new Seats # TRSS175 on the axle. We do have the U-Bolt Kit # CE23000 to mount the axle to your leaf springs. This axle includes 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern idler...
view full answer... - How to Make Over-Under Conversion Kit for 1-5/8" Diameter Utility Trailer AxleSince nobody makes a kit for axles smaller than 2-3/8" diameter you will have to put it together. You also want to double check that axle diameter. More than likely it is the standard 1-3/4" and not 1-5/8". You will need to have a certified welder add a spring seat on top of the axle on either side using # TRSS175. Once this is done, you can use # CE23000 to complete the conversion.
view full answer... - Axle Flip Kit for a 2,000 Lb Trailer Axle with 1-3/4 Inch DiameterI do have an option for you but the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-384-00 is for axles with a 2-3/8" diameter as they measure about 2-3/8" inside to inside so it likely will not work with a 2,000 lb axle which generally has a 1-3/4" diameter. However, you can make your own kit using both the U-Bolt Kit part # APUBR-10 and the Spring Seat part # TRSS175 (2). These two parts could be used to mount the leaf springs either on top or below the axle tube.
view full answer... - Parts to Flip 2,000 lb Dexter Trailer Axle With Idler HubsThere is a way for you to flip the axles of the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # 20545I-EZ-72-15 you asked about, though the over/under kit you mentioned won't work because this axle is too small in diameter. So while there isn't a similar kit for the 1-3/4" axle tube of the Dexter axle, you can put together the pieces needed, which are the following: - U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-10 - Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 1-3/4"...
view full answer... - Recommended Parts for Rebuild/Upgrade of Harbor Freight TrailerThe Dexter Trailer Idler Axle w/ Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs # 20545I-EZ-60-15 is a great starting point to upgrade your trailer. This will give you a standard size axle with good bearings, hubs, and EZ-lube spindles. This is far nicer than the weird sized stuff that comes on Harbor Freight trailers. The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31994 will be a great addition to these hubs and...
view full answer... - Can etrailer 2,000 lb Axle be FlippedThe etrailer axle part # e82GR can only be installed in an underslung orientation. Since the axle has a bow to it if you were to flip it the alignment would be way off. You'd have to weld spring seats on the opposite side of the axle with the part # TRSS175 to install the axle as an overslung setup.
view full answer... - Can Spring Seats be Removed and Welded On in Different Spots on Dexter Trailer Axle 20440I-ST-60Yes! You can weld the springs seats to a different location on Dexter trailer axle # 20440I-ST-60. But instead of cutting off the ones on the axle and welding them back on I recommend getting new springs seats, # TRSS175 (sold in quantities of 1), and welding them on in the proper position. This will ensure that the springs seats are in good shape.
