Expert Answers about Keystone Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension


  • Does the Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Require a Specific Length Leaf Spring?
  • No, it does not! The Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade item # LC1565391 has some specific requirements when it comes to the center hanger but none on length of the leaf springs so long as they are 1-3/4" wide. You have to have at least 2-1/2” from the equalizer hole to the top of the hanger and it be 3” wide or wider. I have linked the installation instructions below along with a video so you can see how to get the equalizers set up.

  • What Happens if "W" Shape From Trailer Equalizers Is Too Spread Out
  • Thanks for reaching out, Scott! The "W" shape formed by your equalizer, shackles, and leaf springs actually looks to be just fine. Since your 25-1/4" Long 5-Leaf Double-Eye Springs # e34SR are the same and you have the same distance between your hangers I don't really see any issues here. I've attached a photo of this same location from our installation of the same leaf spring for you to reference. If that "W" shape were to be spread out too much then yes, you would have trouble. Basically...

  • Can Both Air Lift Help Springs And SuperSprings Stabilizers Be Used Together On A 2019 Ford F-250
  • Hey Mike, The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA22 just sits on top of the leaf spring stack so you would be able to also install the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88399. These air springs sit between the frame and bump out for the jounce bumper, with only a U-bolt wrapping around the block under the leaf spring stack so there should be no interference.

  • Will TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade Fit 2019 F-350 With Timbren SES Jounce Springs
  • The TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade for Upper Overload Springs # TLA7200 installs over the leaf springs. Since the Timbren SES like # TFR350SDJ installs in a different location you won't have a problem using both together on your 2019 F-350.

  • Are There 7K Trailer Axles The Same Width as a Ford F-250?
  • We are only going to have a 94" # 8327864 and 95" # 8327834 width for a 7,000lb axle beam. If you are wanting a solid axle beam like this the same width as your F-250 it would have to be special ordered from a local dealer. Otherwise we do offer the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # TASR7KS01 which will allow you to customize the width of the axle based on the mounts. Each hub face will sit 6-1/4" from the frame rail it is mounted to. This system has its own suspension setup built...

  • How to Add Lippert Shocks to 2020 Gulf Stream 199DD With Underslung Axle
  • The Lippert Shock Kit # LC281255 is the only option for shocks on a single axle trailer but it is still possible to install these on your 2020 Gulf Stream 199DD. You can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 to flip your axle so it is in the overslung configuration. This will also raise your trailer by the diameter of your axle plus the height of the leaf spring stack so you would also gain additional clearance. If you would rather not raise the trailer,...

  • Solution to Stabilize 2023 No Boundaries Travel Trailer
  • Adding the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks # AR94FR or # ARK94FR for black would make a difference in stabilization. Although you don't want to go overboard adding things, more is generally better for trailer stabilization. Installing these on the corners of your 2023 NoBo will help reduce that movement when you're inside. Another option would be to add the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for Travel Trailers # LC191025. These attach to the existing scissor jacks and lock...
