Upgrading Leaf Springs On a 5,200 Lb Axle for Increased Tire Clearance
Updated 05/28/2019 | Published 05/25/2019
Question:
I have two axles with a capacity of 5200 lbs each. Currently carrying a moderate load, the tires rub in the top of the wheel wells. I would like to upgrade to the 3000 lbs. springs. My trailer axle information shows 25 1/4inch eye to eye for 2600 lbs. springs. Each of my springs has 4 leafs. Can I use your 3000 lbs. springs? Please let me know asap. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles part # e34SR would be perfect for you as the extra capacity means the trailer won't sag as much and the extra leaf will give you more tire clearance. This spring also has a 25-1/4" eye to eye measurement so it will be an exact fit.
