What size tire do you need? Are the axles single or dual wheel? If you need size 215/75-17.5 then tire # TTWP15175 has the highest capacity. On single wheel axles it is rated for 4,805 pounds at 123 psi. On dual wheel axles it is rated for 4,540 pounds at 123 psi.

If the axles are single wheel (4 tires total) then the maximum capacity would be 19,220 pounds. But if the axles are dual wheel (8 tires) then the maximum capacity of the tires would be 36,320 pounds.

Answer 6

For a tandem axle trailer using 25-1/4-inch double-eye springs like #e57SR and a 7-3/4-inch equalizer like #TREQE1 the hanger spacing should be approximately 29-1/2-inches. This is a starting point and you may need to adjust this dimension slightly.

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…
