How to Choose Correct Replacement Leaf Springs and Equalizers for a 2021 Coachmen 259FKDS
Question:
Jon, Here are some pictures and measurements. I want all 4 springs and 2 equalizers with wet bolt set. This trailer is only 1.5 years old. I am looking for a better spring set but cannot afford more lift so it will fit in Pole Barn. The gross weight for the trailer is 9000 lb. I want better springs but not too stiff where they may damage the welds or frame. -Equalizer is 14 1/2" from bolt center to bolt center laterally. 2" bolt center to top Bolt center vertically -Springs are 26" eye to eye. 4 springs on each. I am guessing they are rated for 2200 lb each since the axle is 4400 lb rated.

The determine the correct replacement leaf spring on your 2021 Coachmen 259FKDS you'll need to lift your trailer frame so the spring is hanging freely and then measure from center-eye to center-eye, then for the equalizer you need to measure center-eye to center-eye for the horizontal bolts and then from the center of the top eye to the centerline of the horizontal eyes.
Be sure to also note your axle weight rating as well.
I'm attaching dimensional photos from the Leaf Spring #e22YR and Equalizer Kit # AP233 for you to check out. If you can let me know what these different dimensions are I'll be more than happy to help you choose some replacement parts from our linked selection.
