Spring Seat for Trailer Axle that is Getting Moved to Other Side of Leaf Springs  

Question:

I picked up a 5th wheel RV last year and the previous owner moved the springs over the axles, and welder a 2inch tube along the 12inch frame. I want to move the springs back under the axles with all new springs and supports. But with the hanger being welded on the bottom of the 2inch tube Ill need to get some advice on what Ill need to do to make the change. I have a picture to send if you could let me know how. Thank you

You'll need to weld new spring seats on the opposite side of the axle so that you can move the axle to the other side of the leaf springs. So since I don't know what diameter axle you have you'd need to measure to be sure. The part # TRSS300 is for 3 inch diameter axles that are normally between 5,200 and 7,200 lb.

Part # TRSS350 is for 3-1/2 inch diameter axles like what are 8k axles, # TRSS175 is for 1-3/4 inch 2,000 lb rated axle, and # TRSS238 is for 2-3/8 diameter 3,500 lb axles.
