I would be happy to help you upgrade your trailer's suspension. Thanks for the measurements. I recommend the Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double Eye Springs - 3-1/8" Links item # e99ZR. This kit matches the specifications you gave me

Answer 1

It depends on the leaf springs you are using. Basically you will need to mock it all up before permanently installing anything on the trailer. Generally speaking the distance between hangers would likely be 24-3/4 inches on center to 29-1/2 inches on…

I am happy to help! Starting with the two holes in the shorter hangers included in the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 2-1/2" Front/Rear, 4-1/2" Center #APT8 you were looking at. Those holes are not for bolting but…

The Fulton Snap-Ring Swivel Marine Jack with Fixed Length - 400 lbs #F1410050149 has a fixed height of 14-1/2 inches. We don't have a fixed height option for a 1,500 lb jack, so I recommend the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack - Bolt On…

Answer 4

Good question, and what happens is that leaf springs elongate over time, and since you mentioned you got measurements of 25-1/2 inches from center eye to center eye and 26 inches under partial load, the best option for leaf springs really is the…

Answer 5

On single axle trailers typically you put the hanger spacing right at 1/4 of an inch shorter than the leaf spring length from eye to eye center. So if you were using the leaf spring part #e54SR that you referenced which measures 25-1/8 inches long…

We have a solution for you but because your axle is already over slung and you have taller hangers in place, we are limited in options. From the images you forwarded, you have a T44 axle. I recommend the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit…

Answer 7

A lot of it depends on the length of the springs and equalizers that are used. When using Leaf Springs #e64SR with the #AP233 Equalizer Kit and the #H248 Hanger Kit, there should be 29-1/2" between the front and center hangers and 29-1/2"…

Answer 8

I definitely recommend replacing your 3,500 lb 26 inch leaf springs with the 26 inch 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles #e22YR. The 4,500 lb would be too stiff and your ride would suffer so the better option by far are the 4k…

Answer 9

The 26" Long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles #e22YR will work great as a replacement for your Dexter Axle Leaf Spring 072-022-00. This is rated for a slightly higher weight rating but it isn't too much higher so you…

Answer 10

A leaf spring like the part #e57SR has a distance of 25-1/4 inches between the spring eyes. I did some checking and the hanger kit you would want is the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit #APS4. And the distance between the spring hanger centers should…

Thank you for purchasing from etrailer! You did a great job selecting compatible parts. When using Leaf Springs #e64SR with the #AP233 Equalizer Kit and the #H248 Hanger Kit, there should be 29-1/2" between the front and center hangers and…

Answer 12

Having a 1 inch difference in the length of the shackle straps would be a pretty drastic change to the amount of articulation you get out of your suspension, so going with that kit wouldn't be advisable. We don't have a kit that uses longer…
