How to Pick Out the Correct Capacity Leaf Springs for a Trailer
Question:
i cant find eight leaf springs for my trailer
asked by: GEORGE
Expert Reply:
What is more important then the amount of leaves that are on the spring is the weight capacity of the spring. The easiest way for you to determine which leaf spring has the correct capacity for your trailer would be for you to check the weight capacity of the trailer and then get leaf springs that have that capacity.
The easiest way to determine the capacity of your trailer is to look for the plate near the coupler of your trailer that should have the axle capacities and overall capacity of your trailer.
I attached an FAQ on trailer suspension for you to check out also.
