Spring Seat Recommendation for a 2-3/8 in Outer Diameter 3,500 lb Axle
Question:
Hello, I just purchased new axles for my 7000 lbs GVWR trailer, axles I purchased were the 89inch EZlube 3500lbs axle code: T3584F-EZ-8974 the spring seats need to be moved over slightly, these are spaced for 74inch where my springs are spaced at 77. Anyways, instead of trying to cut the old ones off and fighting to have them sit nicely in their new place, I decided to purchased new spring seats. So, what spring seats would I need? I see that so many are rated for different loads, which ones would you guys recommended for a 7000 lbs GVWR trailer with those axles I have. Hope that makes sense by the way, bravo on safely shipping these axles, spindles were very safe from any potential damage.
