Best 2005 Ford F-150 Trailer Suspension Parts

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.

These parts were a perfect replacement for my old rusted u bolts. I would recommend buying flat and lock washers to place on the u bolts under the nuts due to the holes in the plates being big enough that the nuts get a little torn up when you tighten them, also the nuts it came with aren't lock nuts.

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.

Bought many parts, wheels & tires for a small horse trailer restoration project. Received everything purchased quick and all parts were perfect. Made the job go as smoothly as a 25 year old trailer restoration can go.

Everything arrived in excellent condition and it is exactly what I ordered. Your web site with its filters makes it very easy to find the right items even for our very old trailer.

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.

Delivery was faster than expected and well package in the follow up was great. Thank you, E trailer same great service as before your eternal customer.

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.

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.

Dexter kit looks and feels robust! Can’t wait to put it on and see the results. Did have one of the shackles that would not fit and Etrailer customer service was Awesome! Sent what I needed right away. Will be buying from Etrailer again!

Upgrade for my trailer with worn bushings and no lube points. The rubber on these equalizers along with the wet bolts and bushings eliminate the squeaks and creaks on my trailer.

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.

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

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!

I will be disassembling and do a further visual coming up. But what I did see while on the trip is that it definitely looks as the rollers (gold colored like a grade 5 - 8 bolt, I'm assuming they are hardened) that are in the system to roll on the slipper springs are showing wear.

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

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.

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

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.

Just had these installed on our 30' Airstream Globetrotter and it looks great. The extra lift gives us the ability to explore more BLM areas and boondocking opportunities.

The package arrived with a tear and the hardware bag busted so a washer was missing. Contacted trailer and they sent out a replacement right away.

Excellent, had everything I needed and more for my trailer. Everything fit well!

I bought a axle, springs wheels, hubs etc. to build a utility trailer, I inadvertently had ordered incompatible hubs for the selected axle the person filling the order noticed this and contacted customer service to alert them of the issue who then called me to correct the problem. This saved me the time and expense of returning the part and delaying the project. great service, attentive, knowledgeable employees and great products. Thanks E trailer.

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

I installed the TSS-107-40 on a 32ft. 7500lb. travel trailer about a year ago. I also installed front axle Sumo springs SSF-302-47 and rear axle Sumo Springs SSR-312-54 on my 2022 Ram 2500. This is a review for all 3. I Have been on 7 camping trips since the Sumo springs were installed on my trailer. There's a noticeable difference on good roads. Smooths out the ride and less body roll when trucks pass me so it helps with sway. But I just took a trip down I95 through SC and the road was terrible. I mean SCDOT should be ashamed. Especially any bridges - even small ones over creeks - the dips and ramps before and after the bridges were terrible. You felt like you were being launched off of a ramp. This is where these things really did their job. They kept the contents of the trailer from being tossed and kept the trailer tracking well and immediately dampened bounce and porpoising. I also installed front axle Sumo springs SSF-302-47 and rear axle Sumo Springs SSR-312-54 on my 2022 Ram 2500 and again - noticeable difference immediately in the smoothness of the ride while towing. I bought the heavier weight springs and was worried about the stiffness of the ride with no trailer - and there is stiffness - but man am I glad I had them on the Interstate going through SC. Before I got them I could feel my suspension bottom out front and rear in certain situations. Now - not a problem. You'll have to be ok with a stiffer ride when not pulling a trailer - but you'll be happy you have them during stressful highway driving. I keep a lot of weight on my truck even without a trailer - bed cap, bed slide, tools and other items so that helps with the stiffness when not towing. I also installed the spacer on the truck rear Sumo Springs so they are engaged all the time. Not installing the spacers may help with the stiffness. I may take my spacers out. Easy installation for the most part. I did it with 2 jacks and a jack stand. The trailer Sumo Springs were even easier than the truck springs. Just be aware that these springs - IMO - are not to improve the comfort of your truck ride in general but more to improve the performance of your truck while under significant load. Having said that, they did help a lot with body roll while cornering with no trailer which was kind of a nice bonus. The rear springs also helped with squatting under the hitch weight of the trailer. You may also notice on the trailer spring picture that the gas line had to be re-routed a bit - there's a kit that comes with the springs that makes that very easy - you're able to use the existing holes.

Fast and easy install. Have kept my travel trailer’s cheap China leaf springs from re-shaping themselves into an ‘n,’ from the factory ‘u’ shape. Highly Satisfied!

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 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.
