TruRyde Trailer Suspension - Leaf Spring Suspension - TREQ4541 Review Video

The spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like #e74SR, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between…

I spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding the existing Lippert 1716 Pin Box #LC1324791 on your trailer. He stated that you can actually replace the pin box with the Lippert 1116 Pin Box #LC1270271, which is shorter than what you have but uses the…

Basically the biggest difference between a Lippert 1116 and a Lippert 1716 is that the 1716 extends out further than the 1116. The 1716 is considered a long pin box whereas the 1116 is considered a medium length. The length difference will be 5-3/4…

I have another option for you but there is not a screw on spindle available for the #8327872 you were looking at. To replace one of the spindles on the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 94" Long - 7,000 lbs #8327872…

The #42 E-Z Lube 4" Drop Spindle w/ Flange for 5.2K to 7K Trailer Axles #TRU39FR is the same size as that used on the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles #8327860. Both will fit the same Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum…

It really depends on the springs used. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows hanger spacing based on several different springs. This will be a good guide to reference when mocking up the suspension on your trailer. This is also found…

The easiest way to determine the correct replacement parts for your trailer's suspension is by simply measuring its existing components. Looking at one of your current equalizers, you will want to measure from the center of the front hole to the…

Thanks for that excellent info, and we do have an option for you, though the Dexter E-Z Flex #K71-656-00 actually has two different size equalizers, one that is 7-1/4" long and the other that is 5-3/4" long (from bolt hole to bolt hole) so…

For a tandem axle trailer like what you have the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade #LC1565391 that you referenced would be a perfect solution. The air bags will give the trailer a much smoother ride quality that…

It looks like you're likely trying to replace your hubs/drums on your Dexter axle and I do believe that the "0100" you found on the spec plate actually reads "D100" since that was one of the models that Dexter had for this…

As long as your dual wheel has a flat surface where the Flange Wheel Nut #95188 would rest against, like what the Dexstar Dual Wheel #AM20790 has, then you would use this flange wheel nut in the place of a nut with a 90 degree cone. Attached is a…

I attached a picture that shows the proper position of shackles and equalizers on trailer suspension. Sometimes the shackle will flip up but if you jack up the trailer by the axle that's got the shackle flipped you can usually get it to flip back…
