To know if the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6,000lbs # K71-652-00 will fit your 2017 Coachmen Apex UL 275BHSS travel trailer you'll just need to measure the distance from center hole to center hole of your current equalizers. As long as you're within a half inch of the 5-5/8" distance these will work for your trailer.

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…

Answer 10

Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding 3/4" of…
