• Do the Shackle Straps Go Inside or Outside the Leaf Spring Hanger
  
• The shackle straps need to be placed on the outside of the rear leaf spring hangers which you can see in the attached photo. Furthermore, the distance between the two mounting plates (inside to inside) on your leaf spring hangers should be 1-7/8", not 2" which is most likely why there is too much of a gap between the shackle straps and leaf spring. Therefore, the leaf spring hangers will need to be replaced. For this, we generally kit the single axle trailer suspension hangers and shackle...

• Comparing the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kits for Double-Eye Springs APS1, APS2, and APS3
  
• When choosing between the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs part # APS1, part # APS2, and part # APS3 it will be best to use the one that has measurements that most closely resemble what is already on your trailer. For example, if your rear leaf spring hangers are 7/8" tall or shorter than you would want to use part # APS1 but if they are taller then this you would want to use part # APS2 or part # APS3. The only difference between the two latter kits is that part #...

• Leaf Spring and Hanger Kit Recommendation for a Single Axle Trailer to Replace 37 inch Springs
  
• The longest double eye spring we carry is the # SP-210275 that is 27 inches long and is the standard 1-3/4 inches wide. The best solution I could provide for you would be to replace the hangers you have now with something compatible with 1-3/4 inch springs and then go with a spring we offer that would work with those hangers. To pick out a spring you will want to pick out a spring properly rated for the weight of your trailer. Check out the link I attached to the right that has a chart...

• Recommended Trailer Axle for 6 Foot Wide Trailer
  
• For a 6 foot wide trailer I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # A20RS545. This system will allow you to simply attach the assembly to the frame and then use a 2 inch square bar between the assemblies in the integrated holes. If you have a cross brace at the axle location, this bar (not included) is not needed. This will give you the perfect fit on your frame and will extend the wheels to the outside of the frame....

• Are Bushings for Trailer Suspension Spring Hangers Required
  
• Bushings do not always have to be used. Springs typically have bushings or they will use wet bolts depending on which part of the suspension system it is but not always. The bushings limit the wear on the suspension components. There are just different designs. Kits # APS2 and # APS5 use the same 7/8 inch hangers and it is those hangers that come with the bushings. I have included a link to our help article on double-eye trailer suspension for you.

• Recommended Double Eye Leaf Springs and Hanger Kit for 3,500 Pound Axle Trailer
  
• For double eye leaf springs, I recommend going with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP210275. This spring is 25-1/8 inches long x 1-3/4 inches wide and designed for 3,500 pound axles. These springs are a common length for 3,500 pound trailers. One spring is included with the part number, so you will want to order 2 of the same spring in order to replace both sides.

• Switching to Double Eye Leaf Springs on a Triton Snowmobile Trailer
  
• It is possible to install double eye leaf springs on your trailer, yes but you will need to cut off your old hangers and install new ones. However, if the leaf springs that you had on your trailer were old and worn then there is a chance they could have become brittle and just broke due to age. This is not always an indication that there is an issue. However, when choosing a new leaf spring you will need to take your measurements while unloaded and take into consideration that leaf springs...
