view full answer... - Any Leaf Springs Designed for Boat Trailers Used in Salt Water
- They do not have leaf springs that are specifically designed for boat trailers that are used in salt water.

As long as you get the leaf springs with the correct weight rating and the correct measurements to fit your boat trailer you should have no...

- The Loadstar trailer tires are made in both China and Taiwan.
You will want to check the inside of the tire and if there is wear also on the inside it will be from low tire pressure. Always make sure to inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi rating listed on the tire for maximum load carrying capacity and longer life.

- Typically, when the outside edges of a tire are showing wear its because the tires are under-inflated. The solution is to inflate the tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall.
Now if the outside of tires have what looks like gouges are taken out of the rubber most likely it is broken suspension components or its a bent axle or spindle.
Unlike passenger vehicle tires, you always want to have trailer tires inflated to the maximum tire pressure for the best performance and wear.
