Expert Reply:

For a hanger kit that works well with the Universal Group 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e84SR referenced in your question, I recommend the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APS4. This kit includes two 3-1/4 inch tall front hangers, two 1-1/4 inch tall rear hangers, four 3-1/8 inch long shackle straps, six shackle bolts and six diameter locknuts.

I recommend taking a few measurements on your existing hangers to ensure that these will be a good match.

The shackle straps need to be placed on the outside of the rear leaf spring hangers which you can see in the attached photo. Furthermore, the distance between the two mounting plates (inside to inside) on your leaf spring hangers should be…

I contacted our representative at Redline and he informed me that the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4 Front, 1-1/2 Rear, part #APS4, must be welded to the trailer frame. He informed me that there should be a hole to make…

Answer 3

Let's start with leaf springs. For that you will want to pick a set that can handle the weight of your trailer when it is loaded (obviously). Since your boat weighs 3,000 lbs and we have to factor in the weight of your trailer the #e27SR would be…

Answer 4

Your axles being under the leaf springs will not change the hanger location recommendations listed for the Single Axle Hanger Kit part #APS4. You would want to have the hangers 25-3/4 apart measured on bolt center. However, since your axles are below…

Answer 5

If you're referring to the bolts that attach the shackles in your suspension system to your #APS4 hangers, you won't need to torque them to a specific rating since over tightening those bolts would squeeze the shackles against the leaf…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 7

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 9

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 10

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Answer 11

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

Answer 12

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…
