Most Popular Boat Trailer for 2003 Ford Excursion

Added a third 7000 lb axle to our 14000 lb trailer. Easy to install, fit perfectly. Handles the weight better.

If I were to rate this product I would want to say it was better than excellent. Very impressed with your products. definitely beyond my expectation. If fact I ordered brakes for the trailer the very day I received slipper springs kit.

Need to raise my deck over trailer deck. Purchased four of the spring seats. Dropped the four shackles, pulled axels out and measured and welded them on opposite the existing ones. Refastened the shackles and installed axels under axels on new sets. Worked great!

Great quality. Works as intended. Super fast delivery.

Direct replacement. Goods quality

I Waited Too Long to Replace Trailer Bushings -The past few years I would hear “clunking” sound (different than “squeaking”) from my boat trailer, but I got concerned this year as it seemed louder. -With the boat off the trailer I could see wear around the shackle bolts -I called eTrailer to order the parts and was helped by Kayla to order the bushings/shackles/bolts/nuts for my tandem axle trailer -After trying to press the bushings in I realized I measured poorly and had two different bushings, the equalizer had 1 size and springs had a different size. -Amanda helped me get the second set of bushings (delaying the project for 5 days…but my fault) Right or wrong: -I applied anti-seize compound to the shackle bolt threads -I pre-loaded the “wet” bolts with marine grease to fill them up before inserting them into the suspension, adding grease when everything is installed -I tightened the bolts very securely and they backed off the nut ½ turn to allow for suspension movement Lessons learned: -Look for different size bushings in equalizer/springs and measure correctly ID & OD precisely -It takes some time to do this job (about 4 working hours per side) so try to do it when you are not under pressure -If you want the re-paint some parts, allow for primer and top coat drying time, i.e. overnight which adds time to the project, but it comes out better -Have a big breaker bar & extension/enforcer to help get the nuts on & off. My ½” impact gun could not tighten them all the way -A large “C” clamp will press the bushing in smooth & straight instead of using a hammer & block of wood “caveman style” -Annually inspect your trailer suspension for signs of wear and listen for increased noise Thanks again to Kayla, Amanda and eTrailer for help with this project.

Product and service are excellent. You should consider using better shipping containers or using a different shipper. My box showed up with a hole in the bottom and the tape ripped almost gave way. By reading other comments this is not the first time.

Got these parts quickly and was able to rebuild my trailers entire suspension before hauling a car on a 1000 mile weekend road trip. Very glad I found E-trailer.

This trailer sees some use off pavement. The added ground clearance provided by the kit is very helpful. The lifting blocks are well constructed and the hardware is high quality. Installation was straightforward, but great care must be taken when lifting the trailer off the ground to remove the axles and also to ensure that the new fasteners are tightened properly. Not a job for inexperienced mechanics.

This kit arrived packaged very well and exactly as described. Inventory of included parts complete. It will be a straight forward job to install and solve my problem of having the trailer too low at the rear since I can't lower my hitch any further. I recently replaced both 20 year old Dexter #10 Torflex axles with 10 deg down vs 0 deg down spindles. I am glad for the improved ride instead of basically a solid axle, but still needed this kit to solve the angle of the trailer because I'm as low as I can go with my weight distribution hitch at the ball.

This product did exactly what we needed it to. Bought a replacement axle from Dexter but it created clearance issues in the wheel wells. After installing this kit we have much more clearance and the trailer rides like a dream.

Outstanding product. I am so grateful the install video was added to the page. I am a hands on individual and struggle reading directions with numerous steps at times and it made it so much easier to install this. The explanation of how the mount has to sit flush with the axle seat once you tighten down the spacers was very helpful during the alignment stage. I still have to weld the brackets to the axle for extra support as recommended but I did notice that I will be gaining roughly 4” of clearance height to my trailer. This will allow me to sit more evenly with my lifted truck and get my trailer in my driveway easier since I have a water drainage built in to the entrance way with a big dip.

Kit worked as intended. Raised my fifth wheel high enough to get proper clearance over bed on new truck 3" Axle tube 2.5" Spring stack gave me 5.5" of additional height. I also added bump stops on top side just in case a spring breaks.

Jaime at ETrailer was extremely helpful and got my order sent up ups ground since I was having issues using a P.O. Box. My parts arrived quickly and fit perfectly. I installed them last week and my trailer looks so much better and won’t be scraping on my driveway anymore!

All parts fit my rebuild of new springs for my 1999 Bear trailer that my G3 Bassboat sat on for 26 yrs(used a lot for fishing on weekends)

Direct replacement, good quality

Arrived well packed and as advertised. I'm going to pull the azle out of the boat trailer and wanted to have this 'on hand' should I break some of my U bolts. I've bought from you before - always been happy, thanks

Awesome product so far, drove 4,581 miles from FL to CO, UT, AZ, NM and back to FL no issues. With Max mobility.

Welded it to a top of bottle jack. RV emergency jack when needed.

Fit perfectly my axle and u bolts , springs I purchased

I have received significant support from e-trailer over the past 10 days as I have made several purchases for a new axle, springs, and hangars for my utility trailer. William and others have went out of their way to assist. I have been very satisfied with all products received. I will post another review when the trailer is completed.

Good kit with the necessary parts to replace leaf spring suspension. I welded the hangers rather than bolting them. The parts are not coated for the price point so you will need to paint them or they will rust immediately.

Just installed the lippert center point and I have to say very impressed on how well it’s built. Super easy to install and I can’t wait to take it down these California roads and see how much better it rides. Installed on a 2022 jayco eagle Ht 29.5 BHDS

Shipped and received as ordered and describe. Only missing 1 lock nut for bolt that went on left side to frame. Installed myself and took about 3 hrs to complete installation and run air lines and gauge. Only thing there was no installation instructions for torquing nuts. Will see how it handles Wednesday 5/30/24 on getaway trip to see Micky and Minnie. My fifth wheel is 44 ft long Forrest Glen Wildwood Heritage Glen Elite 16,000 lbs. Note: Had to modify the piece that slides up into frame mine had a reinforced piece welded inside on frame had to notch each side to slide another 1/4 “ up for blot to go though hole.

great deal

Very heavy duty and exactly what I needed.

Excellent, had everything I needed and more for my trailer. Everything fit well!

I ordered replacement leaf springs for my trailer using the instructions provided by etrailer. The correct items were shipped and they fit perfectly! The mounting hardware was exactly what was needed. No extra parts were needed as in run to the local hardware store! The springs went in with no problems. I would absolutely buy from etrailer again as their customer service was excellent as was the products.

By far the best upgrade to our 5th wheel RV. It pulls and rides like a dream now.

Ridiculous... I spent all that time and money. Cracking my head on the bottom of my fifth wheel while crawling around underneath it. I said ridiculous because when I took it for a test drive, it exceeded my expectations! Worth every penny and the headaches! It feels just as if I have a heavy load in the back of my pickup. There is no bucking and the only bumps I feel are what is under my truck tires. Couldn't even feel rumble strips in the road when coming up to a stop sign. I told my wife that I will not own a double axle trailer without a comfort ride system again!

Fit around axle is good but bolts could stand to be at least an inch longer, only tighten up flush with plate under my 5 leaf springs, could not use lock washers had to use red Loctite.

Just mounted my 1.5 inch square axle today using this item. Worked great. I used a cradle to align my axle on the slipper springs (no holes needed i. axle) but the cradle added about 1/4 inch. This means there were no extra bolt threads extending beyond the nut. The lock washers were fully compressed, though. The red on the bolt threads in the pic is just grease.

This product is excellent quality and well worth prices.

These are worth the price. Best quality for saltwater axle. Other brands are packaged as galvanized but actually are zinc ubolts with a galvanized plate. Spend a little more get these.

Dexter kit looks and feels robust! Can’t wait to put it on and see the results. Did have one of the shackles that would not fit and Etrailer customer service was Awesome! Sent what I needed right away. Will be buying from Etrailer again!

Upgrade for my trailer with worn bushings and no lube points. The rubber on these equalizers along with the wet bolts and bushings eliminate the squeaks and creaks on my trailer.

After a near-failure of my factory load equalizer and shackles, I upgrades to wet bolts and heavier shackles with a RoadArmor load equalizer. Great products making a world of difference in my towing experience.

Installed these with the Dexter Bronze Bushings and Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizers. No more clanking and banging from the trailer going down the road and especially making tight turns.

I installed the TSS-107-40 on a 32ft. 7500lb. travel trailer about a year ago. I also installed front axle Sumo springs SSF-302-47 and rear axle Sumo Springs SSR-312-54 on my 2022 Ram 2500. This is a review for all 3. I Have been on 7 camping trips since the Sumo springs were installed on my trailer. There's a noticeable difference on good roads. Smooths out the ride and less body roll when trucks pass me so it helps with sway. But I just took a trip down I95 through SC and the road was terrible. I mean SCDOT should be ashamed. Especially any bridges - even small ones over creeks - the dips and ramps before and after the bridges were terrible. You felt like you were being launched off of a ramp. This is where these things really did their job. They kept the contents of the trailer from being tossed and kept the trailer tracking well and immediately dampened bounce and porpoising. I also installed front axle Sumo springs SSF-302-47 and rear axle Sumo Springs SSR-312-54 on my 2022 Ram 2500 and again - noticeable difference immediately in the smoothness of the ride while towing. I bought the heavier weight springs and was worried about the stiffness of the ride with no trailer - and there is stiffness - but man am I glad I had them on the Interstate going through SC. Before I got them I could feel my suspension bottom out front and rear in certain situations. Now - not a problem. You'll have to be ok with a stiffer ride when not pulling a trailer - but you'll be happy you have them during stressful highway driving. I keep a lot of weight on my truck even without a trailer - bed cap, bed slide, tools and other items so that helps with the stiffness when not towing. I also installed the spacer on the truck rear Sumo Springs so they are engaged all the time. Not installing the spacers may help with the stiffness. I may take my spacers out. Easy installation for the most part. I did it with 2 jacks and a jack stand. The trailer Sumo Springs were even easier than the truck springs. Just be aware that these springs - IMO - are not to improve the comfort of your truck ride in general but more to improve the performance of your truck while under significant load. Having said that, they did help a lot with body roll while cornering with no trailer which was kind of a nice bonus. The rear springs also helped with squatting under the hitch weight of the trailer. You may also notice on the trailer spring picture that the gas line had to be re-routed a bit - there's a kit that comes with the springs that makes that very easy - you're able to use the existing holes.

Fast and easy install. Have kept my travel trailer’s cheap China leaf springs from re-shaping themselves into an ‘n,’ from the factory ‘u’ shape. Highly Satisfied!
