Question:

With APS6SE, can you use it with 1.75 inch slipper springs? APS6SE also indicates that the mounts can be used with 1.75 inch slipper springs. How is this accomplished? Thanks

Expert Reply:

To assemble a slipper spring suspension system, you'll need several components: the hangers and bolts (included in the kit APS6SE); slipper springs, such as the 1.75 inch # e33SR; spring seats such as # TRSS300; and a U-bolt mounting kit such as # # APUBR-8.

The 1.75 inch springs attach the same as 2 inch springs would. The hangers attach the springs to your trailer frame. The U-bolt plates attach the springs to the axle. The spring seat welds onto your axle to provide additional support.

I've attached an article on slipper spring systems for you to check out. I've also attached a slipper spring installation video as well as several product review videos.
