Question:
what leaf spring set would work for this 8327860-EB
asked by: Daniel L
Expert Reply:
In order to choose the correct leaf springs for the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes part # 8327860-EB you will need to measure your existing leaf springs as that would then have the correct length you need for your leaf spring hanger spread. Please note, when measuring your old leaf springs you will need to do so while they are unloaded and you also need to make note of which kind you have (slipper/double eye). In summary, the leaf spring hanger spacing and equalizer/shackle strap combo is what determines the correct leaf spring, not the axle so without this info I would not be able to provide accurate fit information. I have however provided a list of options for you to choose from.
If you are doing a fresh install with new hangers and equalizers/shackle straps then you could go with the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e64SR and Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit part # APT5.
