Review of ABS Fasteners Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - Trailer Suspension Bolt - ABS54FR Video

It does sound like you have found some clear damage to your 5th wheel trailer's leaf springs that will require attention. Uneven tire wear can be caused by a number of things - incorrect pressure, inadequate weight on the axle or a visibly…

I am not really sure what the dealership was referring to as a 22 axle but we do have options for you to lower your trailer. The first option if you have a leaf spring axle is an over/under kit like the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion…

It sounds like the U-Bolt Plate #TRTP200175 that you referenced could work for you as this plate is designed for use with 1-3/4 inch wide springs and the other measurements you listed are close. However, I would have you check out the picture I…

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axle #RM-2460 is a great option. The leaf spring kit it was paired with is no longer available separately, so if you want both you would need to get the kit…

Does the spindle look damaged at all? Sometimes bearings can be a pretty tight fit to the spindle but there should be enough clearance to allow the bearing to slip on without needing too much effort. For Dexter 7k axles the bearing surfaces should…

Thank you for all of the info! It sounds like you didn't use the spacers that came with the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers #RM-2460-2570 which would take up that 3/16" gap. If you check out the cutout…

Yes, The Dexter #DX74XR will work as a direct replacement for the Dexter 072-100-01 you were looking at. These are the same length, capacity, spring count, and both use bronze bushings. It looks like the Dexter 072-100-00 uses a weird rubber bushing…

For new leaf springs for your 2019 Grand Design Solitude 5th Wheel you'll need to know the axle capacity and measure the leaf springs to find the correct replacement. I've attached some diagrams below for both double-eye and slipper spring…

As long as the tire you end up using has the capacity for the weight of the trailer when it's loaded you are totally fine. Size difference would not be a problem. So if your trailer will weigh up to 2,923 lbs a Load Range D trailer tire in the…

Yes. You don't need to cut off the old spring seat on your axle when installing the Dexter Over/Under Conversion Kit #K71-385-00; the old spring seat should not be in the way of the new U-bolts that are used to install the axle flip so you…

If you weld the spring seats to the axle you still want to use the adjuster nuts, but in reality it wouldn't be a total necessity. The adjuster nuts serve two purposes: Aiding in establishing and keeping new spring pad parallel with original…

The key info needed to determine the correct axle over under kit (flip kit) is the diameter of the axle. If you have a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle which is common for the 3,500 lb axle the kit you need is the part #K71-384-00 or if you have a 3 inch…
