You'd lose about 1 inch of fender clearance if you went from your current size of 185/80-13 to a 204/75-14 like the part # AM32156 which most likely wouldn't be an issue. view full answer...
Based on my research, it looks like your Clipper 16RBD trailer should have a 3,500 pound axle, however I do recommend verifying this. In order to pick out a replacement axle, you will also need to measure the hub-face-to-hub-face length on the existing unit, along with the spring-center-to-spring-center length.
For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # T3584F-8974 has a 3,500 pound capacity, an 89 inch hub face length, and a 74 inch spring center length. I have attached an image that... view full answer...
For standard styles of 3,500 lb axles we don't have any that match your spring seat to spring seat dimension but we do have an alternative style of axle that will work.
For that we have the Timbren Axle Less kit part # A35RS545E which has the capacity you need and comes with hub/drums and brake assemblies. This kit attaches to the frame rails of your trailer directly and would be a great choice.
It's a bit more expensive, so if you were intent on going with a standard style of axle you'd... view full answer...
You would need to measure from the hub face to hub face and then from the spring mount centers to pick out the correct axle to fit your trailer. I attached a picture that shows where these measurements are. If you can get me the measurements as well as the axle capacity we can see if we have a replacement or not. view full answer...
The Reese weight distribution system part # RP65509 has a tab on the side of the head which you can attach the ball for your friction sway control unit # 83660 to and is the correct tongue weight range for your 2018 Coachmen Clipper Cadet 17 so it would work great for you! view full answer...
If the current leaf springs are in good working order there would be no need to replace them when installing an over under kit. It's not standard practice to replace them when doing this. Since you have 3,500 lb axles the correct over under kit you would need is the part # K71-384-00 which comes with everything needed. view full answer...
It looks like the springs that you have are the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # SP-210275. These springs do not have a lot of curve built into them at 2-3/4" when relaxed from eylet to top of spring pack.
There are some 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # e48SR that would give you a higher curve at 4-1/4" from eyelet to top of spring pack. Please note that the axle on your camper is rated for 3500lbs so the higher capacity springs will not increase... view full answer...
In order to pick out replacement leaf springs for your trailer you will need to determine the axle's weight capacity and measure the length and width of your existing leaf spring stack.
If the main info tag/plate is missing from the trailer and you can't find any identifiable info on the axle then your best route for verifying its capacity is by measuring diameter of axle.
Once you have the capacity needed it's just a matter of measuring your current springs. If you have double-eye springs... view full answer...
