• Replacement Leaf Springs for 2017 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB
  Thank you for providing that information. Leaf springs like the ones you have now typically match the axle capacity on your trailer. Although adding leaf springs with a slightly higher capacity won't hurt, it also is not necessary. Based on the leaf springs and and other information I'm sure you have 3,500 lb axles. Your standard diameter for this capacity would be 2-3/8". In addition to the capacity you want the eye to eye length to match, so we are looking at 25-1/4" long leaf springs. I...

• Recommended Suspension Upgrade for a 2021 Grand Design Solitude
  Hey Frank. The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket item # SS26MV you were looking at are going to take some of the bounce out of your trailer's suspension. They will smooth out your ride as they essentially act like shock absorbers so you won't feel as much of the road. You'll need two sets for a tandem axle trailer. I also saw you were looking at the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers item # RM-2460-2580. This is by far the...

• Replacement Axles for D44 Axle With 86-1/2" Hub Face Measurement
  The Dexter Trailer Axle # 8327816-EB would be your best replacement option. This includes the hub/drum and brake assemblies so you won't have to piece that together separately. It matches your 86-1/2" hub face measurement but the spring center is a little off. You will need to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your 68-1/2" measurement. You will also need the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-8.

• Replacement Axle, Hubs, Brakes, and Tires for Older Trailer With Dexter 22834 Hub
  Based on the axle and bearing measurements it looks like your trailer was using a Dexter 22834 hub. The Outer Bearing # 1779 has an ID of .938" and the Inner Bearing # 2788 has an ID of 1.50". The outer bearing is slightly off but that may be due to a measuring error. That would also mean you have 5,200 lb axles on the trailer. This is an obsolete assembly so you will need to replace the entire axle. For a replacement you can use the # e55SR. This will stick out an extra 3/4" on either...

• Recommended Complete System Trailer Frame Down for Roadmaster Comfort Ride
  The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks - Tandem 8K, 3" Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2580 will fit any 3 inch diameter axles.

• Replacement Leaf Springs for Montana HC 330RL 2020
  Hey Jurijs, the correct leaf spring replacement you'd need is the part # e94SR which is the correct length and capacity. Springs tend to stretch and flatten as they wear out so what you have being a little longer would be correct for the # e94SR. There isn't an alternative to this spring that would be more ideal either. Since your axles would be 3 inch in diameter the correct u-bolt kit would be the part # APUBR-8 that you referenced.

• Parts Needed to Convert a Tandem Axle Trailer to a Triple Axle Trailer
  Daniel, you can add a third axle but you're going to want to keep all of your axles the same size. So if you wanted 6K axles instead of 5.2K then you'd want to swap the other two as well. With that said, to add your third axle you're going to need the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-8, the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APTT5, and the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,300-lb Trailer Axles # e76SR. For the axle itself, let...

• Upgrading Axle Capacity on 5th Wheel With 3,500 lb Axles
  Hi David; a trailer wouldn't be designed where it exceeds the axle capacity without even being loaded. The axles will always be able to handle the GVWR of the trailer. You might not be factoring in the pin weight, which is weight that won't be sitting on the axles. The same is true for tongue weight on bumper pull trailers. You can still upgrade the axles if you want, but it won't actually increase the capacity of the trailer. Even if you swap out the axles, leaf springs, and hubs you...

  The Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e45SR is the closest axle we have that meets the criteria that you gave me. This axle is 6,000lbs with a 4" drop. It has a spring center to spring center measurement of 74" and hub face to hub face of 89". It includes electric brakes and hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.

• Do You Have a 6,000 lbs Axle w/ a 89" Hub Face?
  Hey Val. Our Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles item # e23GR is going to be the best option for a 6,000 lbs capacity axle that's 89" long. We don't have any axles with a 68.5" spring seat so you'll need to have a welder install two of the Spring Seats item # TRSS300 per axle to attach the axle to your suspension. The spindles fit item # 25580 inner and item # 15123 outer bearings. You'll also need a set of the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles...

• Parts Needed for Adding Electric Brakes to Trailer with Bearings LM67048 25580
  For a new hub/drum that will work great with your current axles you'd want the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # AKEBRK-7-SA which are self-adjusting. To wire up the brakes you'd need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. Then leaf springs the part # e34SR would work really well too. Then for a U-bolt kit you'd want the part # APUBR-8. For new shackles I'd need you to get me the length of the ones you have now though. Measured from...

• Replacement Leaf Spring for Dexter Part Number 072-099-01
  Hey Dan, the best option for a leaf spring replacement would be the part # e94SR. This is the correct length leaf spring as well as correct weight rating since you have a 6k axle. We don't have a 7k rated spring that is correct length. For a bronze bushing you'd then want the part # D014-077-00 and then for a u-bolt kit the part # APUBR-8 comes with u-bolts, nuts, and the u-bolt plate.

• Recommended Comfort Ride Leafspring Kit for a Trailer w/ 6,000 lbs Axles
  Hey Chris. There isn't a Comfort Ride Leafspring kit with 25 1/4" springs but that's ok you found the right one for 6,000 lbs axles.

This kit is specifically designed for trailers that have 6,000 lbs 3" diameter axles. You will also...

• U-Bolt Kit Recommendation for 3" 7K Axle with 7 Leaf Spring Stack
  Hey Ron, good to hear from you! How long are your current U-Bolts? The U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-8 could potentially work as it has 7" long U-Bolts, but it really boils down to what you currently have. For something longer we have the MORryde U-Bolt Kit # MR66ZR which are 7-3/4" long.

• Rebuilding a Tandem Axle Trailer with 6,000 Lb - 7,200 Lb Axles
  I would love to help but are you sure that you have space to lower the trailer 4" - 6"? You will need at least 3" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender in order to allow for proper suspension travel. It looks like the fenders on the trailer now will not allow for this therefore I would you to do some measuring before any of the new parts are purchased. I would also need more info on the trailer such as axle capacity (see center label), leaf spring length (eye to eye), leaf...

• Recommended Comfort Ride Suspension Upgrade for 6,000 lbs Axles
  Hey Jeff, you have done your homework well. I'm a bit surprised they put a pair of 6,000 lbs axles on a trailer rated for 14,000 lbs GVWR though. Did you get that information off of the axle tag? If you do have 6,000 lbs axles you will want the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers item # RM49NQ, you referenced. If you check your axle tag and see you have 7,000 lbs axles, I recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers...

• Upgrading Axles on a 2019 Forest River XLR Boost Toy Hauler
  Hey Gary! You can upgrade your axles and hubs using the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes -item # 8327816-EB you were looking at. This axle has a 5,200 lbs capacity. You will need to remove and move the spring seats and replace them with the item # TRSS300. None of our axles have spring seats at the 68-1/2" location like yours currently do. These are sold individually so you'll need four. Additionally, you'll need two sets of the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round...
