Thanks for the reply Jon if I go with eye on both ends of springs what hanger do I need for a 3x4 frame ? I'm looking for "U" bolts style hangers so I can adjust as needed. Thanks Mike

@Mike For a double-eye kit instead you need the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APS2 which are also a bolt-on installation. I'm unaware of a U-Bolt style of leaf spring hanger kit, and I'm pretty sure those don't exist because it would cause more movement of the hangers along the trailer frame. You really want to either put a bolt through your trailer frame or weld the hangers onto your frame.

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but they…

Answer 8

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…
