etrailer Trailer Suspension - Leaf Spring Suspension - APT6SE Review Video

For your Tandem 8K axles with 2 inch slipper springs, I recommend the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers #APT6SE. The hangers are to be welded to your trailer frame and the holes on the top of the…

The slipper spring hook of a slipper spring like part #e67SR attaches to the equalizer and the eye of the spring attaches to the hangers of Tandem-Axle trailer hanger kit part #APT6SE. I have attached a diagram of how slipper springs are setup. I…

Trailer spindles should only be installed by a qualified fabricator with trailer axle experience who has the necessary equipment to square up a trailer spindle. It's not a project for someone who's pretty good at welding since if the spindle…
