Question:

I have a 1966 globestar camper trailer.the GVW on reg says that it weighs 2250 pounds.As I am towing down the road she bottoms out.As far as I know that the leaf springs have never been changed not scenes Ive owned it. I guess my question is how much have they compressed and what would be the best springs would u suggest??32 inch slip hook leaf springs?

Just based on the information given on capacity, length, and style, we don't have the spring you need. The closest we have are the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # SP-039275 which will not fit your hangers.

You may want to consider using the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers 1,000 lbs # TTRA1702 to keep your trailer from bottoming out. This is an assist if you have working/functional suspension.

The best option is to replace your axle and suspension using the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Lift Spindle - Regular Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S06 which will also give you better ground clearance.
