Hello Jeremy, Thanks for reaching out. I do have a couple options that could work for what you’re looking to do, though I want to set expectations up front that one option isn’t available in black and the other depends a bit on how your trailer is…
You can switch from a 5-Leaf #e74SR to a 7-Leaf #e37SR as long as you are replacing all your leaf springs. Do note the 7-leaf springs are going to be roughly 3/4" taller so you may also need taller U-Bolts like the #MR66ZR which are 7-3/4"…
Slipper spring setups, like parts #e74SR and #APT6SE for 7K axles, do have different hanger sizes so what you'll want to do is cut off the older hangers and do some mock-ups of your new system before installing the hangers. Start off by mocking…
Hey Daniel, Chances are your slipper spring has flattened out over time and is longer than it originally was. Typically an older trailer that may not have had its suspension replaced anytime recently is around an inch longer than it was originally.…
Given the description, it sounds like you have a slipper spring suspension. The #e74SR springs you looked at are a likely replacement, but it's best to get a correct measurement. Generally speaking, you'll want to measure from the center of…

Essential Snow Plow Parts for Every Enthusiast
Snow plow parts are crucial for maintaining and enhancing the performance of your plow. Whether you're replacing worn-out components or upgrading for better efficiency, these parts ensure your plow is ready for any winter challenge. Consider durability, compatibility, and ease of installation when selecting parts.
Focus on compatibility with your existing plow, durability of materials, and ease of installation. Many find that parts like skid shoes and pins need to be exact fits to avoid issues. Modifications might be necessary for older models, so check if the parts can be easily adapted.
Regular maintenance is key. Protect parts from rust by sealing exposed areas and ensure proper storage when not in use. Some enthusiasts fill hollow parts with sealant to prevent water ingress, which can lead to rusting from the inside out.
Yes, many upgrade wheels to swivel styles for better maneuverability and replace stands with jacks for easier height adjustments. These modifications can enhance performance on varied terrains, especially for those with long or hilly driveways.
Aftermarket parts can offer cost savings and sometimes better performance than OEM parts. They allow for customization and can be a great option for older plows where original parts are hard to find. Just ensure they meet your plow's specifications.
If parts don't fit as expected, modifications might be necessary. Drilling new holes or using different fasteners can help. It's also beneficial to consult with the supplier for advice on adjustments or to confirm compatibility before purchase.
