Its difficult to say what the issue is with your installation of trailer leaf springs with Redline U-Bolt Plate # 115983. If old and new parts are mixed there can be fit issues since old, worn parts may not have the same exact dimensions as they did when new. Leaf springs do stretch and elongate after years in service. A worn spring that measures, for example, 27-inches long from eye to eye may not have been a 27-inch spring when installed initially.
I suggest you submit a photo and more detailed information about the trailer's suspension. You can also refer to the linked articles on trailer suspensions for additional guidance.
