Question:

I am looking for replacement springs, shackles, equalizer and all associated nuts/bolts for a 2017 Grand Design 2800BH Imagine Travel Trailer. Tandem axle 35inch spacing. Could you tell me which springs you have available for this trailer?

We carry all types of suspension related parts including leaf springs, shackle straps, suspension bolts, equalizers, etc. All parts categories are shown on the linked pages.

I checked the Grand Design website specs for the Imagine 2800BH but details on the axle ratings and suspension parts are not included (this is not at all unusual with RV makers). So to select replacement double-eye leaf springs, shackle straps, equalizers, etc you will just want to note the dimensions of the original parts and select replacements of the same dimensions/ratings.

When you measure your leaf springs you want to do this with the spring removed from the trailer so that it is not under tension. Measure from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other.

Your main trailer sticker (or the ones on the axles themselves) should indicate axle weight rating. Since the 2800BH has a GVWR of 7500-lbs chances are your axles will be rated for about 4K.
