Parts Needed To Replace Suspension On Tandem Axle Utility Trailer For Larger 35" Tires
Question:
Hello, Right now I am running dual 7K axles with 225/75 15s on my standard 18foot utility trailer. I would like to go to an all terrain setup by lifting my trailer and then running 35in tires. I assume I need to have longer springs and possibly a different equalizer to get the separation between axles to allow for the much larger tires. Can you Send me the proper materials list for this modification, help.

Here is a list of parts you will need to remove your current suspension and install the larger 35" tires with your current 7,000lb axles.
Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers # H248 Qty 1
6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e64SR Qty 2
MORryde 14-3/4" Shock Absorbing Equalizers # MR34AR Qty 1
MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR46ZR Qty 1
U-Bolt Kit # CE23003 Qty 1
I have linked one of our help articles below that has additional information about this type of trailer suspension that will help you throgh the process of installing the larger wheels and tires. You will most likely need to have a custom fender manufactured and may need either wheel spacers or custom offset wheels to position the wider tires where they have enough clearance.
