Best 2002 Ford Excursion Trailer Suspension Parts

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

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.

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.

Exactly what I needed, such an easy upgrade with new heavier springs and the wet bolt upgrade kit. etrailer techs helped answer some questions to be sure I got exactly what I needed.

Replaced 50 year old u Bolts on my horse trailer. Fit like a glove, no issues with install and everything fit as it should.

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!

Excellent service for a good product.

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.

Just what I needed. Fast delivery and easy to install. Adam did a great job finding this part for a older trailer.

Quality and fit are good. The paint is thin so I painted them because they are going on a boat 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.

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.

I can always count on E trailer to get me what I want when I need it and Fast I can always depend on them to get the product to me in a couple of days which makes my turnaround faster. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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

This u-bolt made a great trailer hitch holder as seen in Trailer Life mag. The price was just right. My local auto parts store wanted $15 for one just like it. Just slip a short piece of garden hose over one end. You can leave it on the hitch head for easy removal from the receiver.

Arrived exactly as described in the product description. I used the U-bolt in conjunction with the combo bar 12" to fabricate a hitch receiver for my bike rack for my motor home.

Other than cotter pin is way too small and had to add a couple washers so castle nut reached keeper hole a great product at a good price.

I am rebuilding my tandem axle utility trailer and the center shackle bolts were rusted tight. Upon removing them, they were also badly worn. I went into my local auto parts store and they didn't carry nor could they get through their suppliers the replacement size. Only place I could find the 3/4" zerked bolt was eTrailer.com. I ordered two, they arrived quickly and were the exact size I needed. They installed easily and are working great!

Excellent service and prices. Needed to replace curved equalizer, shackles and bolts, nylon spring bushings, u-bolts, and wheel bearing seals on my sailboat trailer. etrailer had everything and shipped it fast. Staff at etrailer was excellent!

These were just what we needed for repairs on our 1983 stock trailer. The old parts were quite worn. We gave the trailer a face lift as well, and it should last another 37 years.

Always have what we need and ship in a timely manner!

Order arrived sooner than they said and I was kept updated throughout each step hassle free I’m a real customer I was skeptical about ordering at first because I never heard of the page but I’m glad I did

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.
