According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Hey Dusty, I emailed the manufacturer to get the dimensions you are looking for on the #ABS56FR and the overall length is 5-5/32” with the hole spacing of 3-29/32” center to center.
Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

I went out into the warehouse to measure the Lift Kit #K71-725-02 for you. The holes measure 9 inches on center and 9-1/2 inches on center. I've attached a photo to assist.
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

I checked with Dexter, manufacturer of many trailer parts, and according to them there should be at least 1 inch of space between the tires when under load. So once your trailer is loaded and ready to tow, if you have more than 1 inch of space…
When selecting the correct replacement axle for a utility trailer you will need to know both the hub face (wheel center) and spring center measurements. For example, if your current hub face measurement is 88" and you replace this with an axle…

Enhance Your Trailer's Ride with Rubber Spring Suspension
Rubber Spring Suspension offers a smooth, quiet ride, perfect for off-road adventures and heavy-duty use. It's a reliable choice for those seeking durability and improved ride quality, with options for both bolt-on and weld installations.
Rubber Spring Suspension provides a quieter, smoother ride compared to traditional leaf springs. It's rust-resistant, making it ideal for use in wet or salty environments. The suspension's design allows for better ground clearance and is perfect for off-road conditions.
While Rubber Spring Suspension increases ground clearance by eliminating the axle, it can make the trailer sit lower overall. This might require adjustments to the hitch height to maintain a level trailer. It's a trade-off for improved ride quality and handling.
Installation can be challenging but manageable with the right tools. Options to bolt or weld the suspension provide flexibility. Accurate measurements and sharp drill bits are crucial, and a drill press guide can help ensure correct angles. Pre-assembly checks can prevent fitment issues.
Rubber Spring Suspension excels in off-road conditions, offering a robust and independent system that handles rough terrain well. It's simple to maintain and provides excellent ride quality, making it a top choice for overland trailers and those frequently on trails.
Regular greasing after each trip is recommended to ensure smooth operation. Checking for any signs of wear or misalignment is also important. With proper maintenance, the suspension can outlast the trailer itself, providing long-term reliability.
