For a square axle that is 1.75" wide, you would want the Replacement U-Bolt with Nuts for 1-3/4" Wide, Square Trailer Axles # 175130 along with the U-Bolt Plate for 1-3/4" Square Trailer Axles with 1-3/4" Wide Springs # 116308.

I have added links to video reviews of both products for you.

We have lift kits for trailer that easily add 2 inches to the height of the trailer. For that you'd want the part #RR23QX and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows how it installs to give you an idea. This would be the easiest…

Hey, Lance. The direction the springs are in doesn't matter. They can be to the front or to the rear of the axle and will perform the same either way. What kind of trailer are you working on?

There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…
