What Direction Does The Wheel Rim Clamp For Motorhome Install?  

On the Wheel Rim Clamp for Mobile Home Style Hubs, #15-2, the portion with the lip goes toward the inside of the hub and opposite the nut. The angled side goes to the outside of the wheel so as you tighten the nut it pushes against the lip on the…

I spoke with my contact at Redline and he said the Wheel Rim Clamp for Mobile Home Style Hubs #15-2 goes towards the hub. So the flat side of it goes up against the lug nut.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

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…

There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…

Hi Leo; I would start by checking to see if there are axle tags on the axles. They will probably have the capacity on them or at least a serial number the axle manufacturer could use to identify the axle. If the trailer manufacturer is still in…

You are indeed right to think this way. When picking out the appropriate leaf springs for your custom built trailer you will want to choose them based on what the actual loaded weight of the trailer will be. Just make sure that the leaf springs have…

Hey James, you can go with a 4k axle leaf spring like the part #e22YR in place of what you have now while it has a slightly higher weight capacity it's not enough that it would create a harsh ride quality. This is a 26 inch long spring though so…

Hey Thomas, the most important factors for picking out a replacement leaf spring for a trailer are matching axle capacity and length. Getting the same amount of leaves in the spring pack is actually not a huge priority so I wouldn't worry too…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…

First off by moving to heavier leaf springs you will cause the trailer to want to bounce more which could cause another set of issues. To ensure the length of the springs are correct I can use the information off the axle tag located on the center of…

Hello Cole, thanks for reaching out. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles #TRU62FR is 27" long center eye to center eye. I edited a picture to help illustrate.
