Slipper Springs like # e33SR do not use a bolt and bushing for the open eye end of the spring. It connects directly to the hanger using a slipper spring hanger kit.

For the spring eye you would use the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long #166079, but slipper springs don't have the second spring eye, so a bolt is not used on the back end. You can also use a wet bolt like…

Answer 10

For hanger kits you'd want the part #APS3SE which comes with everything needed to mount the leaf springs #e33SR. We don't have equalizers that fit 1-3/4 inch wide springs so you'd not use them.

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

I checked the specs for several model years of the EZ Loader trailer models like your TAL102B 20-23 5200 but no detail is provided for the leaf springs other than that they are rated for the trailer's 5200-lb axle. To know the actual length of…
