Review of Dexter Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - Hangers - Suspension Kits - HAP-105-00 Video

The Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part #K71-384-00 CAN be used with slipper springs. However, the process of installing this kit on a trailer with a set of slipper springs is more in depth than installing this kit on a trailer with…

I spoke with my contact at Kodiak and he said Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-140 would be acceptable on their oil bath hubs. When filling the hubs, you will want to remove the rubber plug from the oil cap and fill the hub to the bottom of the hole. When…

The easiest way to lift a trailer's height is to install an axle over-under kit. We offer two kits, each made for a specific axle diameter. For a 2-3/8-inch diameter axle use kit #K71-384-00; for a 3-inch diameter axle instead use kit…

The maximum deflection or compression/movement of the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers #TSR14K35T01 is 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches. That's the amount it will move from zero load to full compression.

When measuring for bolt pattern on an even bolt pattern you would measure from the center of one hole to the center of the hole diagonally across from it. In your picture you started measuring at the 1 inch mark. So if the adjacent measurement is…

Front and rear suspension hangers are not often the same height like this but they can be. If you have the hanger spacing right then what will happen is the center of the spring will be offset a little between the two hangers to compensate some for…

Hub and drum assemblies, like the Dexter #8-430-5UC3 you referenced, are universal so they typically fit any 9K - 10K axle just fine. With that being said, there are some exceptions out there so you just need to confirm that your axle uses a #387A…

With square axles, neither of our over/under kits will be a fit to raise the height of the trailer so another option is to use longer hangers for the leaf springs. You will just want to confirm the hangar height. You may be able to use a hanger like…

For a rear hanger for a 2 inch wide slipper spring we have the part #721585 which is 5-1/16 inches tall. Then for a complete kit like you mentioned needing you'd want the part #APT6SE which comes with a 12 inch equalizer.
