Recommended Trailer Suspension Enhancement for Boat Trailer
Question:
What can I use on a boat trailer tandem axel Boat weight is 1600 pounds
asked by: Todd W
Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but trailer suspension enhancements are chosen based on the axle capacity. The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-107-40 for overslung axles or part # TSS-106-40 for underslung axles for example are designed for an axle capacity between 3,000 - 5,000 lbs. The other option would be a shock kit like the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit part # LC281255 for example which is designed for 3,500 lb axles. All of these will work great on a boat trailer.
If you can let me know what your axle capacity is, I would be glad to inform of other options. If you don't know your axle capacity, you can find this by crawling under the trailer and reading the tag on the axle beam.
