Recommended Replacement Suspension for 6K Tandem Axles  

Question:

6 leaf springs on my older tandem axle cargo trailer need replacing. The 3axles are 5 lug hubs, so not sure of the rating, but this thing has been able to hold anything that you could fit in it. My spring c to c measures 26, equalizer appears to be 6centers and front to back overall 63. I need 4 springs and ubolts and equalizers about 3-1/2inch axle tube to frame. Is this spring a good fit? What would you recommend for install kit? Thanks

Expert Reply:

Thanks for the measurements. I recommend using the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # SP-053275. Then use the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs # K71-448-00. This is a heavier duty assembly with wet bolts for easy lubrication and heavy-duty shackle straps.
