Question:
Have a homemade pickup bed trailer, 1/2ton leaf springs. Trailer has a 7k 3inch round mobile home axle. The springs are rather soft and cause major body roll if the trailer isnt loaded down to the bump stops. Currently have a pickup-bed camper loaded on it, which is not heavy enough to sit the trailer on the bump stops. And body roll is at a dangerous tip over point. Part # TSR7KS02 seems like an excellent replacement to the soft springs...only question is are these able to be fitted on a Vehicle frame persay? or will they require further frame fabrication? Part# TSS-107-40 also seems like another alternative option, although im unsure how stiff they are, as in will they stop/prevent body roll before they are compressed 50 or more.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Timbren Silent Ride # TSR7KS02 that you referenced was intended for attaching to a trailer frame, but could also attach to a truck frame too assuming it's a standard boxed frame. I attached a picture that shows how it typically bolts to a frame and shows relevant dimensions that you should check out and compare.
You really don't want to install suspension enhancement like the # TSS-107-40 you referenced on suspension that is showing signs or being worn out like yours. These kits should only be used on trailer suspension setups that are in good working order.
