Question:
Good Morning. 2 questions. Im looking to upgrade my leaf springs on travel trailer. I have 7K x 25.5 EMCO eye to eye with equa-flex equalizer. Looking to upgrade to 8K but all I see on your website is 24 7/8. Do you offer a 25.5 or would you go with the 24 7/8? Also Im upgrading to a EOH disk system. Decided on Hydrastar E7K-T9. Its the same as your HSE7K-T1 except it has 9/16 studs. Do you offer this? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
Hey Richard! How did you measure your current leaf springs to get the 25-1/2" eye to eye measurement? We recommend jacking one side of the trailer up to get the weight off of them before measuring because they stretch out quite a bit over years of use.
The 24-7/8" Long 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles item # EM28AJ will shorten up your suspension if you actually need 25-1/2" leaf springs so I would not recommend using these.
We do not have the Hydrastar E7K-T9 kit for a tandem axle trailer just the triple axle item # HYD54FR, which is of no help to you.
