Your current Dexter springs 072-097-00 are a 25-1/4 inch leaf spring that is rated for 5,200 lbs. So we have a couple options that would match the length but not the exact capacity. You'd want the part # e28SR for a 5k rated spring in this length or part # e34SR for 6k rated.

Answer 1

For your Dexter 072-078-00 axle, I recommend going with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,000-lb Trailer Axles #e44SR. These leaf springs are the same length as your current springs but are going to have a higher capacity at 5,000 lbs.

I do have options for you but we would not have a direct replacement for your 3,500 Lb Lippert Axle. Instead, we have the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part #ASR3500S05 or part #ASR3500S06 which as the title states is an axle-less style…

Ideally you can get the measurement of your axle by using a precision instrument like a digital caliper similar to Item #PTW80157. There is also often a sticker or a tag on your trailer axle that tells you the weight capacity of your axle which can…

It sounds like you have done everything possible on the tow vehicle side to reduce the up-and-down porpoising you noted, so I suggest checking out the trailer's suspension. Leaf springs do wear out and lose their weight-carrying capacity and this…

Yes, you can omit the spacer included with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part #SSR-312-54 which will allow the suspension to compress more before the springs engage. If you're looking for a smoother ride you can also switch to a…

It really depends on what is referring to when you say the spring is bad. If you are meaning the leaf spring on the trailer is worn out and is now flat, you can have issues with the trailer bouncing due to the spring no longer being a spring, and…

We do not sell just the cover, but we do have the entire kit as a replacement. If your Dometic 310 series toilet does not have a hand sprayer, then you'd want #DOM95FR, however if it does have a hand sprayer then you'd want #DOM86FR.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Answer 12

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
