Review of CE Smith Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - Trailer Suspension Shackle Straps - CES73FR Video

The CE Smith Front/Center/Rear Hanger Bracket #CE14035G40 does not have a weight rating. It basically will have the weight capacity of any leaf spring that will fit it.

The difference is found in the application. The Slipper Spring styles, like part #SP-179275, are intended for use with more heavy duty applications, while the Double Eye styles, like part #e77SR are used to provide a more comfortable ride. The part…

The only hanger kits we have that are bolt on are the #CE14035G40 and #CE14026G. Your typical double-eye leaf spring is going to be 1-3/4" wide so neither of these would work. This means the only option would be weld-on hangers. For replacement…

The only bolt-on hangers we have for 1-3/4" slipper springs come from CE Smith: - Front #CE14016G - Rear #CE14017G Attached are some review videos for you to check out!

We only have 2 options for bolt-on hangers: - CE Smith Front/Rear Hanger Bracket for Double-Eye Springs #CE14026G which have an inside width of 1-1/4" - CE Smith Front/Center/Rear Hanger Bracket for Double-Eye Springs #CE14035G40 which have an…

I recommend the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs #APS2. With the double eye leaf spring you will need to add shackle straps to allow the leaf spring front to back movement when compressing. While the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket…

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…

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.

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…

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…

Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding 3/4" of…
