We carry 4 double-eye springs that are 26 inches long. I've linked our selection for you to check them out and choose the weight capacity you need. Shackle straps that are 5-1/4 inches center on center is very long. The longest we carry is only…
Hey Jim, welcome back! You are on the right track with the #APT5 kit. As long as the hanger height, shackle and equalizer length are the same, you can be sure it will work. The equalizer in the kit is 7-3/4" long center hole to center hole. The…
I checked with Carolina Skiff and they were able to give me the trailer specifications for the size 1655 DLX. They recommend that you use 2" x 6" wood, carpet-covered bunks that are 10' 6" long spaced 40" apart when measuring…
For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…
You want leaf spring shackles to be at a slight angle as that prevents the springs from flipping around to the other side of the equalizer over uneven terrain. I attached a picture that shows what the angle is typically like.
I am happy to help! Starting with the two holes in the shorter hangers included in the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 2-1/2" Front/Rear, 4-1/2" Center #APT8 you were looking at. Those holes are not for bolting but…
In order to find the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you first need to start by noting the type whether that be slipper or double eye. Then, you'll need to measure their unloaded length via jacking up the trailer. If the springs…
Hi Jack, The 33" or 35" spacing is measured from the center of one axle to the center of the other axle (measurement C in diagram). If this isn't a new build and your just replacing suspension components then I'd recommend measuring…
The best solution is going to be to go with a double eye leaf spring setup instead of what you have now. For that the leaf spring part #e57SR is for a 4,000 lb axle and has a 25-1/4 inch length from eye to eye. Then for a hanger kit you'd want…
Hey Dirk, in general double eye is a smoother ride quality than a slipper since there's more friction with a slipper setup but if the boat trailer will see saltwater I would go with slipper since there would be fewer components that would rust…
Since your trailer is a Shoreland'r I may be able to get the correct part information from the manufacturer if you can provide me with your VIN information. If you have the trailer where you can measure and send me images of the leaf springs that…
