Replacement Leaf Springs for a 2011 Lark 6 x 12 Single Axle Enclosed Trailer
Question:
Hi I have a 2011 LARK 6 X 12 Single axel enclosed trailer. I need to replace the Leaf springs. I was planning on ordering the 3 Leaf, Double-eye spring Kit for 2,000 lbs trailer axles. Is this everything I need to replace my springs? Or is there a different kit i should be ordering? Thank you

Expert Reply:
If you just need to replace the springs and the u-bolts and plates are fine then you can just order the springs by themselves. But to determine the proper springs I will need the length of the existing springs and the axle capacity.
When measuring springs there will need to be no weight on them so jacking up one side of the trailer and then measuring is an easy way to get a fairly accurate measurement. If your springs are 20-1/4 inches long measured from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye and the axle is rated for 2000 pounds then you can use spring # e84SR.
I have also linked our help article on double-eye spring suspension for you.
