Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
Our trailer was so low...that it could not make it up a low curb and some driveways - especially when fully loaded. Went with the Dexter axle flip kit. The Dexter bracket and base plate pieces are worth the extra $20-$30 compared to other similar kits - they make fitment easier, eliminate any guesswork on placement, and decrease installation time because of it. Took 2-3 relaxed pace hours for us to do single axle install. Tools required were ratchet/wrench set (13/16 deep socket worked for us for most of the bolts), cheater bar (for working those rusty bolts off), drill, angle grinder (cutter disc for oem u-bolts and leaf spring bolts that are rusted or welded in place, stripper disc for cleaning area around new bracket for welding) welder, floor jack and jack stands. We had to remove the leaf springs, as the wheel mount brackets would not fit through the openings. Was hoping we wouldn’t have to, but it was pretty simple to do. We jacked the trailer up. Removed the wheels. Removed the axle. Cleaned the axle area where new brackets go. Set the height and placement of the new Dexter brackets. We left the OEM brackets on the axle and placed the Dexter ones in the exact same position 180 degrees on the other side. Welded them on. Reinstalled leaf springs. Reinstalled axle, reinstalled wheels. Then voila! We added 6 full inches of height. Super awesome.
Great conversion kit, easy to get the plates lined up perfectly. I welded the new saddles onto the axle and welded the nuts to the bolts so there is zero chance of anything moving. Having the plates held in perfect position while welding made it simple. Solved the "dragging wheels problem" without having to cut off and reweld the fenders (which had been welded without enough clearance to the tires at the factory.)

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts
These did not fit my 3500 lb axle. It has been very difficult determining the correct size U-Bolts for my axle. It appears etrailer does not carry the size I need.
It is exactly as described. It seems solid. I also ordered the springs, and they appear to be solid as well. I look forward to continuing to do business with etrailer due to quality parts AND great customer service from the likes of Shawnee and the crew. Thank you!!!

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 4-1/4" Long U-Bolts
after one year axle is very very rusty as well as the hangers and hubs, not sure why but not happy with the price vs quality of product
I purchased this kit for the standard 5' x 8' 2,000 lb. trailer from Lowes. I did an axle flip and added larger tires. This is the perfect kit for this trailer. It went on easy, and the bolts were slightly longer. Also the bolts in this kit were fine thread instead of course thread. Overall an improvemet over the factory hardware and I had no issues. Shipped in a timely manner and packaged well. I highly recommend this kit if you plan on flipping the axle or need a replacement.

Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 1-1/4" Rear
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.

Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
My manufactured trailer did not have this type with a grease fitting. They wore out the bushing in no time. I really like the design and ability to lubricate the bushing.
I bought a set of these bolts to replace the hardware in the triple axle suspension of my toyhauler. I had read about the benefits of a wet bolt kit, and after finding two broken shackle plates on my camper, decided I too needed to be able to properly lubricate the moving parts. These were a perfect fit and replacement for my original bolts. At the time I installed them I hadn't read about orienting the hole in the bolt to the 3 or 9 o'clock to ease pumping grease through them. I put them in at whatever orientation they were in my hand, but had no problem pushing 3 - 4 pumps of chassis grease through the zerk. I was able to observe grease flow out of the spring eyes around every bolt, and all of the zerk fittings stayed firmly in place when I wrestled the grease gun nozzle on and off. There were a few bad reviews about these press on fittings falling out, but I didn't see any evidence of that. I am very pleased with this purchase, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing I can properly service my suspension and hopefully extend the life of all the components in the system.

Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 1-1/2" Front, 7/8" Rear
Excellent, had everything I needed and more for my trailer. Everything fit well!
This is a great kit! It included everything we needed to replace the old, worn-out brackets on our 6'x10' trailer. The directions were helpful and the brackets and hardware are nice and solid. We've had zero issues with the leaf springs (purchased on etrailer.com, also) or the brackets. Would definitely recommend!

Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-5/8" Lift
I got these for my 1998 Trail-et gooseneck 2 horse trailer after we upgraded from a 1994 truck to a 2023. The new truck is much taller so I needed to lift the trailer. This kit was perfect, all of the holes lined up perfectly and it gave me the height I needed. The hardest part was cutting the old bolts off the trailer.
This was a very easy install in the driveway. Only a couple hours start to finish.

Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 3,500-lb (2-3/8") Axle
My small dumping trailer was bouncing and swaying all over the place. After installing this shock kit, it follows along like a dream. A more than worthwhile investment. Easy to install, great customer service. Thanks!!!
Not a trailer, but... We needed a set of shocks for a three-wheeled motorcycle truck conversion for our resort/farm in upper Thailand. I had to pack it in my luggage for the trip over. The vehicle came with no shocks on the back axle and the ride was really bad. This kit, with a bit of modification, really did the job and the ride is now significantly better in terms of smoothness and handling. Shocks were a bit long, but it worked out OK.

Trailer is back to new again.
Brandon was very knowledgeable about what I would need to replace my axles and springs, right down to the sizes for bushings and bolts. I have been using trailer for many years because their service is awesome.

2" Square Trailer U-Bolt (Qty 2)
Had a leaf spring break on my off-road trailer in Mexico. Left it at a boat yard until I received the parts from trailer & returned to replace. Only took 2 hrs to replace both leafsprinhs, shackles, bolts etc. And we were back on the road.
Worked great fit was good. I did not use standard nuts furnished but used Nylon lock nuts instead.

Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
Your shipping time went wrong, but Kelsey’s way of handling My order with problems, made my respect level go up. Also, on your website, you have a picture of equalizers that look American made, with your name on it. What I received was stamped China and looks cheap…..
These are the exact bolts used by the manufacturer of my trailer. I had a spring break after 10yrs use, so am replacing the springs and all the bolts at the same time, thank you to etrailer for the springs (ordered earlier) and now the bolts/nuts, all arrived quickly and accurately, you are my first choice for all trailer parts for my 7 trailers, thank you and keep up the good work!

Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift
The trailer is a Palomino Solaire 147x. Installation was straightforward. The lift in combination with taller wheels and tires accomplished the desired ride height.
Can you believe that etrailer asks for reviews after a year? That's confidence in their products! The Torflex Life Kit for my 2014 Casita 17 Deluxe Independence has worked great. I no longer drag going through dips and up my steep driveway.

Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 1-3/4" Diameter - Qty 1
I havent really gotten a chance to use the trailer much since my purchase of the leaf springs. But they went on perfect and the stance is perfect. With a weight load , they should be just right.

Spring Seat for Typical 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 2-3/8" Diameter
It looks like it will fit my 1954 Jeep CJ3-B Dana 44 axle tube, although it is 1/8" wider than ideal. Thanks

CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2" Square Trailer Axles - 4-1/2" Long U-Bolts - Zinc
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

Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear
Shipped fast looks good will be putting it on my trailer this weekend.
I bought the spring kit to put on my home built trailer that I put my old heavy slide-in camper on. It more than met my expectations. There was no sway at 75mph or on the 5 mile trail back to camp.
