I do have an option for you, but we do not carry the Dexter 072-027-00 you mentioned.

However we do have the etrailer Double-Eye Spring for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-7/8" Long # e64SR which will be 3/8" shorter but that is still close enough for it to be used without messing up the suspension geometry.

I included a video of the # SP-198275 for you to take a look at.

Answer 1

Grand Design does a great job listing the parts for their trailers but the one thing they don't list individually is the leaf springs. I can see that you have 7k axles on your Momentum 320G but you will have to measure the length to see if…

Answer 2

Hey Bill, sorry to hear about all the trouble you're having but after looking at the pictures you sent in I'd have to agree with the tech. I think you're going to need to up your springs to a beefier set like the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring…

Answer 4

Yes, our Dexter leaf spring part #DX74XR is the same as the part number 072-079-00. This is a 7-leaf spring for an 8,000 lb trailer axle that is 24-7/8 inches.

Answer 5

Yes, a 24-7/8" leaf spring will work for your 2022 Dutchmen Voltage. If you took the #DX74XR and flattened it out it would measure 26-3/8" which is right in line with what you have. Assuming you have 8,000 lb axles on your toy hauler this…

Answer 6

I would be happy to help! When measuring for new leaf springs you need to either take them off of the trailer, or jack up the side of the trailer so that the axle is not carrying any weight. Based on the pictures of the leaf springs on your 2017…

Answer 7

For 7k axle leaf springs like what the Dexter axle part #8327860 you referenced is designed to fit you'd want the part #DX74XR which is for a 8k axle like what you almost have but would work great still even though it's a little more capacity…

Answer 8

I checked directly with Dexter, and from what I saw they have a measurement - taken from center of spring eye to center of spring eye - of 24.8", which is the same as our 24-7/8" measurement for the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb…

Answer 9

Trailer leaf springs will measure differently when under load so its tough to get an accurate eye-to-eye dimension without removing the spring. Also, after years of use a leaf spring can stretch and actually lengthen by as much as 1/2 to 3/4-inch.…

Answer 10

Finding the correct MORryde equalizer kit will be pretty specific, so I cannot tell you which will be correct without knowing the wheel spacing and axle capacity, unfortunately. With that being said, if you have the trailer's VIN, you may be able…

Answer 11

When choosing a U-bolt kit for you trailer, you want to choose the correct kit based on the size of your trailer's axle. The width of the leaf springs isn't the main factor. The U-bolt kits you referenced will not both work on the same…

Answer 12

You will want to choose the diameter size of U-Bolts you need by the axle type (round, square) and the axle diameter. The Redline 2 Inch Square Trailer U-Bolt, part #SP01-160, you have referenced is for a 2 inch square axle. It is a 9/16 inch…
