Helpful Expert Reply:
On a single 3,500 pound axle trailer I recommend going with 25-1/8 inch springs part # e54SR. You want to choose springs rated for the same capacity as the axle. Then a popular hanger kit with these springs is part # APS3. All the hardware is included with the hanger kit.
I've also linked an on trailer suspension as well as one that may help you determine where to place the axle on your trailer.
In addition to the suspension parts I've linked our selection of fenders. Use your wheel size to help determine which size you want and then choose a style you'd like to use on your trailer.
