Most Popular Utility Trailer for 2016 Dodge Durango

It turned out I needed to adapt the shock kit to my trailer's frame design, so I had a welding shop make mounting brackets which are bolted on to the frame, with the shocks then bolted on. I spent, as I recall, around $130 for the welding and installation, but the shocks work work well, the ride is better, and the trailer sustains less punishment from poor or potholed roads. I'm glad I installed this kit and recommend it.

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.

Several detail features of these parts made it obvious that they were an upgrade over the originals I replaced.

New suspension parts made a real difference in trailer handling. Original shackles holes were severely elongated, spring eye mounts were also needing attention. Thank you, etrailer for the needed parts and support.

Product is as described, installation was easy & performed as expected.

I ordered these to help reduce the rolling (tilting) of my 18' travel trailer that I use off-road. Also, I am hoping it will absorb some of the shock. I have added some photos of before and after installation. The installation was simple, I used 5/16" sheet metal screws instead of the bolts supplied. Time will tell if they work as expected. As you can see from the photos, I have previously added an Etrailers shock mount kit to my axle. I made custom lower mounts that I welded to the axle and used the supplied upper mounts.

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.

Great Experience! When I noticed that the leaf springs on my 44 year old boat trailer had cracked I thought I would never find replacements. I fully expected to have to have something custom built. I was amazed when I found the fantastic diagrams/descriptions dimensions for replacement springs on etrailer.com The phone support person was wonderfully helpful in confirming if items were in stock and ready to ship. The replacement springs arrived on time and everything bolted up perfectly! Thanks for such a great site!

Worked great fit was good. I did not use standard nuts furnished but used Nylon lock nuts instead.

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.

The parts in the U-Bolt kits (I had two of them) fit perfectly, and I am very pleased with everything about them.

The ladies at etrailer are awesome! Unbolts work on the new leaf springs , they know there products. I will buy from them for all my projects! Thank you

The holes to mount to top of axle fit fine. It's the holes the mount on the side, to the frame bracket are filled too low. They're off by half a diameter.

I purchased this item for 2015 micro mini with torsion axles.Simply put, the suspension lift for this trailer is no longer available.Three of the holes lined up perfectly.The 2 bottom holes and the one front one that bolts to the trailer. With an angle grinder, I cut the button rail of the lift kit with an angle gri der and had to drill the top hole of the bracket on the trailer to install the fourth screw and torque all bolts. It fits and operates perfectly and my minor mini went from 6 inches of ground clearance to 9 inches of clearance at the lowest part of the trailer. A beautiful retro fit for an item that is no longer available for purchase anywhere!!! If.your handy with an and grinder this modification is possible with this kit and well worth it!!! Sorry no photos as of yet.

Some of the pieces in this kit are of questionable quality. In particular, the threaded center of the nuts are not round, and will not thread on to the bolt. The kit comes with 14 of these nuts, and 7 of them are unusable. This is unforgivable, considering the issue has been reported at least since 2023, as there is a review and accompanying photo on 05/16/2023. So if you buy this kit assuming the problem has been corrected, you will be mistaken. Other than this issue, the kit seems to be acceptable.

great construction, but the screw to connect to the trailer was not long enough.

Exactly what I need to mount new springs under the trailer.

Perfect component for my 2000# undercarriage project. Very sturdy and fit as advertised.

These nests are kind of hard to get wrong really. I welded them into position, haven’t thought about them since. So,… I mean,… that’s good right?

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.

I thought I was getting 5k threw 7 k hanger brackets. I got the bigger 8. To 12 k hanger brakets for my upgraded 8 k slipper springs. I love it. 1/4 in thick all way around. Perfect for dump trailer. . Thicker than origanal . And to buy seperate hangers is Awsome. N stuff just awsome. And price I can replace spindle also ? Thanks for reasonable price

Fantastic Kit. Excellent Quality.

Exact replacement part. Post office had a hiccup so it took a week to get my parts but etrailer shipped it right when I ordered. Thanks etrailer

Exact duplicates of the stock Dexter equalizers. Removed nylon bushings and replaced with steel bushings with wet bolts.

Excellent products are only sold through e-trailer. I trust them and will continue to purchase through them for all my trailer needs. Thanks!

Looked under my trailer and the u bolts and plates wer rusted away, it's an old trailer so I had no details like make or model number. Called and talked to Kelly S. She was very knowledgeable and overly efficient! Got my parts super fast, the u bolts wrer very thick and the plates were even thicker. Quality parts at a good price. Would highly recommend and a big thanks to Kelly

This is the best product with the zerk fitting no more problems!!!!!!!

I bought these as spare hardware to keep with my trailer. They appear to be manufactured well and will be a direct replacement if I have a failure while transporting.

Yes, I received the kit today. it arrived when stated.

Dexter spring parts good product free shipping and here in three days.thanks.

The shackle and bolts fixed my problem .Original shackle had pointed or right angle corner and the trailer hung up. The new shackle had a radius corner and didn't catch the frame. Works great

Everything was what was expected and the delivery was on time. I will always look to etrailer for my trailer parts. I built a trailer from scratch and it was etrailer that helped build it.

Great fit. I called to ask what I needed and etrailer made the right suggestions. Fast and friendly service for you trailer needs.

Rec'd item quickly along with new wheels I purchased. Items were packed very well. I installed my new wheels, tires, and equalizer kit the following weekend and my trailer was ready to go.

This is a multiple product review. The long bracket are good. The shorter brackets are of the same good quality. The issue is using the short brackets with the shackles. The shorter brackets could be narrower so the shackle line up better with spring and other longer bracket. We used washers to make it align better. The greasing bolts are good, but could be longer. so we could only use 2 of the 6 and had to use normal grade 8 bolts.

we plan on doing more business our trailer seem to be a hit see attached photo

So glad I stumbled on these. Perfect fit for early Jeep CJ’s with 1.75” wide leaf springs . Saved me hours of cutting, welding, drilling to make my own.n

They were a perfect fit. I underslung the axle to get the ground clearance I needed.
