Should Leaf Spring Capacity Match Trailer Weight or Axle Weight for Best Ride Comfort  

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye…

You are going to need 2 of the Bearings #L44649, 2 Races #L44610 and a Grease Seal #34823 for each hub. You will also need either a Cotter Pin #165649 or EZ Lube Tang Washer #5-101 if you are unable to reuse your current fasteners. Our Bearing Kit…

Our trailer leaf springs are rated for dynamic axle load. Which means the capacity listed but in use on the highway under normal circumstances. Since your trailer is 2,200 lbs loaded you want to go for a spring capacity 2,200 lbs or slightly higher.…

Hello, sorry for any confusion. For determining the proper size Solera Slider your project requires you need to measure the total width of your slide room from the outside including the flange then add a minimum of 5" (2-1/2" each for the…

Thanks for the pictures! I have a solution for you but you'll need to take a closer measurement. I can't tell exactly where the tape measure ends due to the angle but if your recess well is 4" deep or less I recommend using the B&W…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

We do not recommend moving from 7,000lb #e64SR to 8,000lb #DX74XR leaf springs as this creates a stiffer ride with more bounce. This causes more shock to transfer inside your RV which can cause damage to the trim and electronics. Instead I recommend…

If you are not having any issues with the trailer bottoming out, and the springs are the same as how they left the factory, then you shouldn't have any issues as some leaf springs are flatter than others depending on the rating of the spring.…

The number of leaves on a leaf spring does not dictate strength or capacity, so as you said, a 3000lb rated leaf spring (6,000lb axle capacity) can have various numbers of leaves since it is up to how the manufacture designed it. I wouldn't look…

The Timbren Axle Less Kit part #ASR2KHDS03 that you referenced is essentially a 2,000 lb axle so it would take two of them for a 4,000 lb trailer. If you have a 4,000 lb trailer axle the most similar option that would work well you'd want the…

Though I do tend to warn people about the ride getting stiffer when upping the capacity of their leaf springs, you are correct in that you will technically never be fully "unloaded". I do have to mention that this could still happen, but…

Typical spring deflection for trailer leaf springs like the part #e64SR is right at 1-1/2 inches when at capacity. Generally speaking you will want to have 3 inches from the top of your tire to a fender on a trailer (in your case a deck) to…
