Installation of Dexter Kit # K71-385-00
Question:
On this kit, do the spring seats that come with it need to be welded to the axle, or are the old seats used as the stability for the new ones? In my application, I would be re-installing the axles under the springs, so currently the seats are on the bottom of the axles. Thanks

Expert Reply:
I have checked the installation instructions for the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00, and according to Dexter they strongly recommend tack welding the spring seats in place.
Please note that this kit is intended for use with a 3 inch diameter axle and one kit is required per axle. If you have a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle then the # K71-384-00 kit is recommended.
