Question:

I am purchasing replacement springs e78SR. If I purchase this Dexter kit will I be able to install the bronze bushings included in the kit into the new leaf springs? If so.... does that effect the warranty on the springs? Thank you

Expert Reply:

If you use the Dexter Heavy-Duty Tandem-Axle Trailer Suspension Kit for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs, # K71-449-00, you can choose to remove the bushings from the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e78SR and swap them with the bronze bushings or you can leave the bronze bushings off and use the bushings in the leaf springs. Leaf springs don't come with a warranty to void other than manufacturer defect, so that is a non-issue.
