Review of etrailer Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - 5 Leaf Slipper Spring Hook End 6K Axle - e67SR Video

I wouldn't be concerned with the gap on the ends of your cross tube. The only thing that matters is that the 4 bolts that you use to install the #DT35MR are snug and secure. Assuming you have installed these correctly, and used the proper torque…

The Optronics Trailer Light #STL43RB that you referenced can mount using rubber grommet #A45GB. But this light's overall diameter is 4-5/16-inches so this light unit would be too large to allow for grommet mounting in your trailer's…

The picture with the torn up bushing looks like the eye of your slipper spring. Is that correct? If so, it is coming undone and probably the reason you're having this problem. It should be enclosed and not look similar to the hook on the end of…

The bolt pattern of your Dexter axles for the mounting of the brake assemblies is a 5 bolt pattern like what the part #AKEBRK-6 has. If you wanted assemblies for both sides of your trailer this kit will work great. I attached a picture that shows the…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

The only difference between the Flat and Radius end slipper springs is the shape of the end of the spring with the radius having an arch and the flat being flat as you can see in the included pictures of the Radius End #SP-179275 and Flat End #e29SR.…

Absolutely! If you would rather not connect the trailer to your tow vehicle, you can simply use a separate car/truck 12V battery to test the electric brakes on your trailer. You can apply power to the appropriate brake input pin on the trailer…

You can indeed test a trailer's electric drum brakes by directly applying +12V power from a fully-charged battery. You can apply this power to the hot and ground contacts on the trailer's plug (see photo please) or to an individual brake…

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…

Thank you for all of the good info! Since mobile home axles are just meant to be used once we want to focus on weight capacity and fit with your trailer frame to make sure we get something that is a good replacement. I'm guessing that when you…

To be honest the brakes that were on your Lippert 5.2K axles were probably from Dexter Axle as they are the most common brakes on any trailer. Since your OEM brake controller on your Ram pickup worked with the old brakes it isn't likely that all…

To answer your first question a double-eye spring would not compress less than your current 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End #e33SR and I do not recommend going with a higher-rated spring than what your trailer is rated for as that will make…
