Question:
I need two new slipper springs and u bolts and mounting hardware for 1 1/4 axle. This old trailer has 1 three leaf slipper spring 21in. Long on one side with one u bolt attached diagonally. Yikes! The other side has just a two leaf with same u bolt set up. Can you help me with this. If so I can get any other measurements you might need. Havent weighed it,, but I doubt it carries more than 650-700 lbs. new springs what? 1000lbs. Possible?

Expert Reply:
For a slipper spring the part # SP-177275 would be your best option as this is a 1,000 lb axle spring that would work well for your 700 lb boat. Then for a hanger kit you'd want the part # APS3SE and you'd have everything needed to install.
