Shipped fast looks good will be putting it on my trailer this weekend.

I bought the spring kit to put on my home built trailer that I put my old heavy slide-in camper on. It more than met my expectations. There was no sway at 75mph or on the 5 mile trail back to camp.

I think these Trailer spring hangers are working out very well. Can’t wait to test it out on the road. I’m building a 7000 lbs GVWR trailer to mount a generator on.
by: Kurt06/28/2016
It was easy to install, and had all the parts I needed.
The trailer rolls down the road nice.
This helped me get a barn find trailer back on the road.

Had what I needed to repair my trailer. Shipping was faster than expected. The kit should contain bushing for the springs as well. Also an option for the greaseable pins.

We summer at a remote cabin in the Gila Nat'l Forest above Silver City NM. The last 5 miles to the cabin is extremely rough and puts a lot of wear and tear on both my truck and my trailer that we use to transport water, food, building materials and supplies to the cabin on a twice a month schedule. I have had suspension springs break, blown tires and damaged coupler. I ordered this kit to replace the entire hanger assembly because of wear and tear, cracks and loose fittings. I had to re-enforce the frame and weld up some cracks and wear points. The kit was great and worked perfect. The trailer is now like new and will serve me for years to come.

I'm building a trailer for a gutter machine from scratch. And the parts that I got from e-trailer are exactly what I needed, and on top of that they got to my house 3 days earlier than they were suppose to. I know where to order again if I need some more parts in near future ;) thank you guys
by: William03/29/2017
I had a trailer with a suspension that needed new bushing and rocker arm. I looked on line and decided on the parts I needed. I called my order in on Sunday evening and explained I needed the parts ASAP.
The parts were sent to UPS Sunday evening. I received the parts about 2:00 Wednesday. I have already installed the parts. The suspension is back like new now.

I received my order very fast. The quality is excellent and everything that I expected. What is also impressive is that if you have questions about setting up your axle kit, etrailer has printable instructions right on their website that will make installation simple.
I have built several trailers over the years and appreciate the quality and service provided by etrailer. I highly recommend this company and their products.

My flatbed trailer is a 1998 and the suspension and wheels were suffering from Pa's use of salt brine on the roads. The wheels had holes rusted through them! Decided it was time to repair the trailer. Got new wheels and suspension parts from E-trailer. Got my parts fast at a good price and well on my way to having a reliable trailer again. Great service and will do business again!

I have ordered from Etrailer a few times now, The service is always great and fast shipping. They have the best prices around. Where I live I have 24 miles of rough dirt road so am always replacing parts on my trailers. Their products hold up to the test of my road. Always a perfect fit too!

Perfect fit. No problems.
by: Delbert02/03/2022
I didn’t receive all parts on original shipment. Box was partly open due to the box wasn’t big enough and that’s why it bust. After Tralee already tore part when found. I called to get replacement parts. That went well until I received what I was originally missing, and y’all sent me galvanized straps and I said to hell with it. Not going to keep waiting. I’ll paint over them. Not sure why my new order and the replacement straps couldn’t have been shipped together. But oh well I’ll wait several more days for part that was in stock in the same building probably to shopped late. Better luck next time

- Height Increase from Dexter Over-Under Axle Kit K71-384-00The Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APT5 does include the spring hanger components for a tandem axle trailer like yours. You'll need to determine how much height increase you need. This will tell you if the height gain from over-under kit # K71-384-00 or from the taller hangers will be enough for you. Typically an over-under kit provides a height increase of roughly the diameter of the axle. But a 3-inch taller hanger will not give you 3-inches of height...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Leaf Springs and Hanger Kit for 8,000 Pound Dual Axle Car HaulerStarting with the leaf springs, I recommend the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e57SR. This 3-spring stack measures 25-1/4 inches from the center of spring eye to the center of spring eye. This is a more common spring length for this capacity, so it will be much easier to find an exact replacement down the line when needed. You can then use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT5.. This kit includes 6 hangers, 2 equalizers, 8 shackle straps, 14 shackle bolts, and 14 locknuts. You will need...

- Where to Place Axles on a 16 Foot Long TrailerTo determine the location for the front and rear hangers on your tandem axle trailer you will first need to make sure that you have the correct center point for your equalizer hanger. The center point of your equalizer hanger should start where you will have 60 percent of the frame of the trailer in front of the center of the equalizer hanger and 40 percent behind the center of the equalizer hanger. For example, if the trailers frames length is 16 feet, then the center-line location for...

- Length Of Hanger For e54SR Leaf Spring On Home Made TrailerThere is about 3-1/4" of space between the eye of the spring part # e54SR to the top of the lowest point of the spring. This is indicated by dimension D on the diagram I have attached. The height of the hanger you need really depends on the trailer axle diameter and the wheel size. I recommend to use Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs part # APT5 which will give you the proper amount of clearance with the axle and the e54SR spring. This kit includes 3-3/4" tall hangers....

- Axle to Frame Height Difference Between Tandem Axle Hanger Kits # APT3 and # APT5We don't have CAD drawings we can give out for our hanger kits but I can help give you info to help you determine what the height of your axles relative to your trailer frame would be with each kit. With the part # APT5 it will give you approximately 4-1/2 inch to 5 inch of clearance and the part # APT3 will give you approximately 3-1/2 inch to 3-3/4 inch.

- Ideal Leaf Spring Hanger Spacing for Tandem Axle Trailer Using # e34SR 6000 lb Leaf SpringsThe spacing will depend on the axle diameter and on which particular spring hanger kit you use. If you have a 6000 lb 3 inch diameter axle, and you're using the # APT5 hanger kit which includes 7-3/4 inch equalizers and 2-5/8 inch shackle straps (which are the correct size for dual axle trailers, 3-1/8 inch shackles are usually used on single axle trailers) , the center to center distance between the front and center and center and rear hanger is 29-1/2 inches. The center to center axle...

- Recommended 7-3/4 Inch Suspension Equalizer with 3/4 Inch Center and 9/16 Inch BottomThe Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-3/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear # APT5 has the wider 7-3/4 inch equalizers you referenced but all holes are 9/16 inches (top and bottom). All of our kits will have the 9/16 inch bolts. This isn't an issue unless you aren't replacing the hangers. We do have the equalizers you are seeking sold individually. They are the Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 7-3/4" Long - 3/4" Center Hole # TREQE34. Then you can...

- What Distance is Needed Between Trailer Axle and Trailer FrameAs long as you have at least 2-1/2" between your axles and the frame of your trailer when it is unloaded you should be good to go. Altogether your leaf springs should only be deflecting about 1-1/2" when carrying a load. If you wanted to increase your clearance then there are a few ways to do that. One way would be to cut your current hangers off and have longer ones welded on and another way is to use an over under kit like part # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8" axle or part # K71-385-00 for...
view full answer... - How to Trailer Suspension Hangers Get Installed on a Trailer FrameTo install trailer suspension hangers like what come in the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT5 that you referenced you will want to have them welded on professionally by a qualified welder. I attached a review video for this kit as well as an FAQ on trailer suspension for you to check out.
view full answer... - Switching Trailer from Torsion Axles to 3,500 lb Leaf Spring AxlesIn order to replace torsion axles with leaf spring axles you'll first need to start with a hanger kit, if it's a tandem axle trailer then I recommend the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs part # APT5. This can then be paired with a set of leaf springs like the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles part # e54SR. The only thing that's left is the axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle part # 35545E-ST-89. The axle has a left and a right side so you'll need to...
view full answer... - Replacement for 94" Long 3,500 Pound Lippert AxleIt looks like your current axle is a 3,500 lb axle that measures 94" hub face to hub face with an 81" spring seat measurement. Although we do not have a 94" axle, you can use the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # e68GR which will stick out 1/2" farther on either side but not cause an issue. This axle will also work with the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K you looked at. One thing you will need to do is cut off the spring seats and weld on new ones like the # TRSS238...
view full answer... - How to Move Axles Under Leaf Springs on a Horse Trailer with Slipper SpringsDexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, like part # K71-385-00, is specified by Dexter for use only with double-eye springs. It is not suitable for use with slipper springs. If you really wanted to move the axle under the leaf spring you would have to replace all hangers, equalizers, and springs. The part # K71-385-00 is the correct over under kit for 3 inch axles like yours so that's a good start. 3 inch axles are typically 6k or 7.2k axles so for leaf springs the # e46SR...

- Which Hub and Drums and Braking Assemblies Fit Tandem 6000lb Phillips/Dexter Axles?I would be happy to help! As long as the race measurements you took were of the inside diameter then your spindle uses inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 14125A, # LM67048, or # 15123 as each of these measure 1.25". The only difference between these outer bearings is the race used which is based on the hub and not the spindle. For a replacement hub and drum I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ...

- How to Determine Where to Put Axles on TrailerI have added a link to a help article for you which has the formula you need that allows you to determine exactly where to position your axles on a trailer. Using this formula, based on measurements you'll need to take and the weight of the trailer, will determine where you position the axles. As for the hanger kit that depends on the size of your axle and your leaf springs. For example, the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs # APT5 is for 2,000-lb to 7,000-lb tandem-axle...

- Suspension Hanger Locations for Dual Axle Dump TrailerThere are some measurements missing that are important in giving you the exact positioning. I've attached a couple articles to assist with the dimensions you must calculate to get your precise 35 inch on center axles. Your center hanger will be obviously directly centered between the two axles and then your other two hangers will be spaced identically on each side. Your spring from the center of the outside hanger to spring seat location is the dimension that would be extremely helpful....

- Recommended Tandem Axle Suspension Kit for Converting to Double Eye Leaf SpringsThe appropriate vertical height of double-eye leaf spring equalizers and hangers mostly depends on the axle diameter. 2K axles typically have a diameter of 1-3/4-inches. If you were to use a tandem axle kit such as # APT5 which has hangers that are 3-3/4-inches tall and equalizers that match well you'll be all set. It looks like you have just enough room to install this kit, as shown in the linked diagram. You will have about 5-inches of clearance between the trailer frame and the axle...

- Comparing Amount of Drop of Torflec Axle with a Drop AxleThe 10 degree up Torflex axle will have the center of the spindle sitting about 0.31" below the bottom of the frame of your trailer under no load. When it is under a full load it will sit about 1.45" above the bottom of the frame of your trailer. If you are wanting a Torflex axle that sits lower then you need the 22.5 degree which has the center of the spindle sitting about 0.52" above the bottom of your frame under no load. Under a full load that will sit about 1.82" above the bottom...
view full answer... - MoRryde CRE3000 Equalizers on 31 Inch Tandem Axle SpacingI just spoke with my rep at MORryde and she said that you are able to use the CRE3000 MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 33" Wheelbase - 8K item # MR87ZR on a tandam axle trailer with 31 inch spacing if your are using 24 inch leaf springs.
view full answer... - Should Loctite be Used when Install Trailer Suspension PartsI would not use any Loctite when installing suspension components on a trailer since the suspension components need to be able to move relatively freely. I would be afraid of getting the thread locker on bolt or something away from the threads. If you were to use a thread locker then use the blue kind. The red is way too strong. The blue will allow nuts and bolts to be removed with hand tools. Maybe I'm just paranoid but for me, I wouldn't use it.
view full answer... - Recommended 2,000 Lb Trailer Axle with Brakes for Small TrailerThe best option we could provide you with is the Trailer Idler Axle Beam part # e48GR which measures 60" long and has a 2,000 lb weight capacity. It's not setup for brakes so in order to equip them you'd need to have a brake mounting flange welded on, the Brake Mounting Flange for 1-3/4" Round Trailer Axles part # 4-34. This will then allow you to add brakes like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 and hubs/drums like the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles...
view full answer... - Trailer Suspension Equalizer Kit with 7-3/4 inch Long EqualizersThe closest kit we have to that is the part # APT5 which has 7-3/4 inch long equalizers, 2-5/8 inch shackle straps, and 9/16 inch bolts and was designed for 1-3/4 inch wide springs.
view full answer... - Recommended Clearance Between Trailer Frame and AxleThe recommended clearance with leaf spring suspension on an unloaded trailer is between 2 - 2-1/2 inches. You should have sufficient clearance with your loaded trailer, as leaf springs only tend to deflect 1-1/2 inch when carrying a load.
view full answer... - Tandem Axle Hanger Kit Recommendation that has 5-3/4 inch Center HangersFor a trailer suspension kit that comes with 5-3/4 inch equalizers you would want the part # AP233-H248 instead of the # APT5. Aside from that and the center hangers being slightly different to accommodate the different equalizers the kits are the same.
view full answer... - Replacement Suspension for Tandem Square Axle Venture Boat TrailerI reached out to the manufacturer but they are not currently able to look up VIN numbers for part assistance. I was able to find on their website that the square tube axles are either 2000 lbs capacity each or the more common 3,500 lbs capacity each. Most of their trailers utilize the 3,500 lb axles and I believe that is the case for all their tandem axle trailers. For your trailer you can use the following: -Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-3/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear...
