Question:

I purchased the SP-040275 leaf springs for a project. My axel is from another supplier. It’s a 3000 lb 3” square axel. Your leaf springs have a bolt that is dead center on the leaf where I presume the axle must sit. As such it won’t sit flush when secured with the ubolts. It is my understanding please correct me that a spring seat is needed. So, my question is, do you sell a spring seat for a square axle that is compatible with this leaf spring?

Expert Reply:

Correct, you will need to have a spring set installed on the axle tube to hold the leaf springs in place and prevent them from sliding back and forth. That said, although we do not have any spring seats specifically for a square tube axle you can use the Spring Seat part # TRSS300 by grinding the ends down and then welding it to the axle tube.
