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…
Hey Darrel, we actually have exactly what you are looking for with the part #TRU52FR which is for a 7k axle and is 25-1/4 inch from eye to eye. This is also a 6 leaf spring as well. The spring you referenced would be too short.
Hey Michael! I can definitely help you find replacement leaf springs and hardware for your travel trailer. However, we will need some more information to get the right parts. For the leaf springs, I need to know your axle capacity, as well as the…
Hey Timothy, I know the temptation is to go with a higher rated spring since bigger is better. But in reality the correct rated spring will give you a better ride quality since the heavier the spring the stiffer it will be. So instead I would…
Hey Kevin! I tried looking up the parts through Grand Design, but their website is less than helpful when it comes to finding the specs (it's great to find replacement kits though!). I know the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers…
Hey Michael, the leaf spring part #e66SR that you referenced would not work for you as it was designed for a much lighter 2,500 lb axle. So instead you'd want a leaf spring that was designed for 7k axles like the part #TRU52FR which is similar in…
Hey Phil! Thanks for getting back to me with those measurements! We have a leaf spring that is an exact replacement but I am guessing it's the pricey one you referenced. It is the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,400-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4"…
Hey Thomas, well I know exactly what you are talking about and the correct replacement spring you would want is the EMCO part #TRU52FR which is 25-1/4 inches long and is for a 7k rated axle. Did you break yours or did they wear out?
Hey George, sorry to hear about your previous experience with your leaf spring setup. I've been stranded on the side of the road because of a trailer malfunction as well and it definitely isn't a pleasant experience so I understand where…
Hey Mark, I looked up the specs of the spring you have now and found that it is a 24-3/4 inch long spring from eye center to eye center and for a 7k axle. So that means that the replacement spring part #EM28AJ that you referenced will work great as a…
Hi Greg; leaf springs aren't typically used to raise a trailer. However, if the #EM28AJ matches your current leaf spring measurements, and your current leaf springs are 3-leaf, and the leaf springs are sitting on top of the axle, that would push…
The torque requirements for leaf spring u-bolts depend on the diameter of the u-bolts that are being used. If the gross weight of your tandem axle trailer is 7,000 lbs, then you likely have two 3,500 lb axles. Typically 1/2 inch diameter u-bolts are…
