Each of the leaves on the Leaf Spring # e47SR are 3/8" so this will give the spring pack a height of 1-1/2". Here is a list of our U-Bolt Kits for a 3" axle.

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Answer 10

The torque requirements for leaf spring u-bolts depend on the diameter of the u-bolts that are being used. If the gross weight of your tandem axle trailer is 7,000 lbs, then you likely have two 3,500 lb axles. Typically 1/2 inch diameter u-bolts are…

The hangers you currently have on your trailer are ones I have run into before. That being said, I spoke with MORryde and the #MR27ZR will still fit your trailer, but there is a modification that will need to be made. You’ll have to trim according to…
