We do not carry torsion axles, just some components of them. But, we do have Timbren Axle-Less kits like the 3,500 lbs. part # A35RS545 which can be used in place of a torsion axle. This attaches to the trailer frame and instead of using a torsion spring it uses a rubber spring.

I have linked our selection of these axle-less options so you can check out the weight capacity and rise/drop options available.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

If your current springs have 5 leaves then going to a 7 leaf spring will increase the height of the trailer a little and make the trailer more susceptible to sway. Regarding capacity if you go with springs rated higher than what is required it will…

If you are installing just the Firestone Ride-Rite kit, #F2400, and not also adding an on-board air compressor such as #F2158, then I would estimate that it should take about 2 hours to install the kit. That is for someone with some mechanical…
