The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit # RM-2460-2570 will not change the overall height of your 2019 Grand Design Solitude 310GK. This is designed to keep the trailer at stock height. You may notice a slight difference if your leaf springs are completely worn down but the same would be true if you simply replaced them with regular leaf springs. I double checked the Grand Design parts list and you do have 7k axles so this is the correct kit for your 5th wheel. view full answer...
Based on the information I could find on your 2023 Jayco Jayfeather 30QB travel trailer it appears you are going to have 4,400lb axles. You are going to need to verify the diameter of your current axles as some manufacturers like Lippert use a 2-3/8" diameter axle tube and others like Dexter use a 3" axle tube.
If you have a 3" axle the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2560 will be the kit you need.
If you have a 2-3/8" axle you will need... view full answer...
Hi Ryan,
If your leaf springs sit on top of your axles then you'll need the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket # SS26MV. If your leaf springs sit below the axles then you'll need the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket # SS33HR.
Timbren does offer a few different options for leaf spring suspensions but you won't be able to use both the SumoSprings and Timbrens because they both mount in the same spot. If your leaf springs sit on top... view full answer...
Thanks for all of the information, Robert!
It sounds like you have the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers # H248 installed on your tandem axle trailer so to get your Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 7359765-EB installed you need the following parts:
- 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR
- CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23002
- Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # AP233
You need a total of 4 leaf spring, 2 of the U-Bolt kits, and just one of the suspension kits... view full answer...
Hi Mike,
With the height of your equalizer increasing an inch you might need to switch to 3-1/8" shackle straps # TRSL313 to keep the leaf spring stack level but this isn't an exact science so your leaf springs could end up sitting too close to the equalizer and will bind up. Your suspension should form a 'W' shape with the equalizer and shackle straps for proper suspension travel. Too far in or out with your shackles will cause binding or will flip the axles down on the equalizer. Because... view full answer...
Hey Kyle!
The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks # RM-2460-2580-3 can be used with disc brakes like the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD67VR but aside from that we unfortunately don't have any 8K axles - the heaviest we have is rated for 7K. For something more in that HD range you'll need to have a trailer shop or RV dealer custom order an axle for you. view full answer...
Hi Don. The difference is what the parts fit; the 3611 is for the 2500 and 3500 trucks, but for the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 you need the 4611:
- RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS4611
Please just keep in mind this will not fit models with a composite mono leaf spring. That said, going with the RAS is a really smart choice; it will actively counteract the flattening of your leaf springs when your truck bed has a heavy load (or you're towing), allowing your... view full answer...
Hey John,
To have enough clearance for the trailer with a leaf spring suspension to travel over bumps in the road you want to have at least 3 to 4 inches between the tire tread and the fenders as well as 1 to 2 inches between the side wall and inside of the wheel well. As you hit bumps and/or add weight to the trailer the springs will start to compress, moving your tire closer to the fender.

Hello Greg. Generally, yes, shackles are required for any single axle utility trailer. The diagram below will show you the components of a typical single axle setup. You will have shackles on the rear hangers only. This is because as your axle hits bumps in the road it not only gets pushed up, but also back. With the shackle in the back you will have the best ride quality and suspension travel. Without shackles the suspension would likely be quite rough.
The shackles should not be flattening... view full answer...
Hey Dan I can definitely help with all of this. The # e43SR Trailer Axle that you were looking at comes with electric drum brake assemblies. In order to connect this to the 7-pin connector on your truck you will simply need a 7-way trailer harness such as part # 50-67-106. This comes with a 7-way plug with 18' of jacketed 7-wire. Since the electrical is trashed, you can use this to completely replace the trailer wiring for the brakes and lights.
No separate actuator will be needed since... view full answer...
Hey Jerry, yes we have the wet bolt part # 126B2 which can be used with the leaf spring part # DX74XR that you referenced. This is the correct diameter and length needed. view full answer...
If you are talking about flipping your axle so it mounts below your leaf springs then yes! You should definitely take this opportunity to install an axle flip kit. There is no better time then right now. If this is not what you are talking about then feel free to email me directly with some more information!
There are two options to install an axle flip kit which one you need is going to depend on the thickness of your trailer's axle. I have listed both options below:
2-3/8" Diameter... view full answer...
The 7 leaf spring part # DX74XR that you referenced can be used in under or over slung axle configurations. Leaf springs aren't made for either style and can easily fit both. It would be just a matter of going with correct u-bolt kit for the axle capacity like the # APUBR-35 which was designed for 8k axles that are 3-1/2 inches in diameter. view full answer...
Hi Sandra; does your Jayco 23B have standard, round axles (we have no way of knowing which axles any trailer has, which is why I ask)? Assuming it does, and and the axles are 3,500 lb, 2-3/8" diameter axles you can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00.
This puts the trailer's leaf springs to the top of the axle and will raise it the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack. Another option, even if your leaf springs are... view full answer...
That's a great question Ron. Since the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687 arms move in rather than up like on the MORryde # MR87ZR you do not have to worry about the additional clearance required. You do still need to have enough clearance for the leaf springs to move through its suspension range. view full answer...
Hey Tony, so if your trailer has a leaf spring axle and the leaf springs are mounted under the axle then you could use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00, which would move the springs to the top of the axle giving you the height difference equal to the diameter of your axle, plus the thickness of your springs.
If you have torsion axles you'd need to let me know what kind you have and I'll see if we have a lift kit. For example, if you had #11 Torflex axles... view full answer...
We have one bushing that matches the inner and outer diameters you mentioned with the part # 14-67 but this is a bronze bushing and it happens to be 2-1/2 inches long. view full answer...
The Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX is going to be the best option for lifting your trailer. This will raise your 2023 Cougar MLE by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". The only other solution would be an axle flip kit but your leaf springs are probably on top of your axles already which would rule that out.
For heavy duty shackles and wet bolts you can use the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers w Correct. You will need to choose the kit that matches your current... view full answer...

Hey Bill, sorry to hear about all the trouble you're having but after looking at the pictures you sent in I'd have to agree with the tech. I think you're going to need to up your springs to a beefier set like the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles # DX74XR.
These springs, since they'll be bigger than the ones you have now, shouldn't go flat causing your tires to rub. The only way these would flatten would be if the trailer is overloaded, but since you're saying the trailer... view full answer...
