Troubleshooting Trailer Leaf Springs That Have Broken Twice  

The first bit of info you need to obtain to find the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer is the axle capacity from the axle tag on the center of the beam. Then you will need to jack the trailer up in the air and measure the leaf springs…

If you are having issues with leaf springs breaking then you first need to verify the weight capacity of the leaf springs which should be based on the axle capacity. If the leaf springs are rated appropriately then you will need to make sure the…

Yes, leaf springs must be replaced in pairs which is why one side left go and then the other shortly after. In regards to the stent you get on a full set of leaf springs, there are really a ton of variables present here so it is hard to predict.…

It really depends on what is referring to when you say the spring is bad. If you are meaning the leaf spring on the trailer is worn out and is now flat, you can have issues with the trailer bouncing due to the spring no longer being a spring, and…

There isn't a correct option for a slipper spring end type (radius or flat) for a 15k axle, or a particular fit for the Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 3" Slipper Springs #HAP-203-03. Flat and radius ends are completely…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…

To correctly measure a leaf spring, you'll want to jack the trailer up on jack stands so the axle is hanging freely, then measure directly across from the center of one spring eye to the other, as shown in the provided diagram. The height of 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…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

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…

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…
