Question:

Hey etrailer, I have a 4 x 8 trailer that I am building a custom camping travel trailer on top of out of wood, approximately 6 high. I want to replace the leaf springs, bushing and shackles. Looking for recommendations about spring, bolt and shackle ion. I have pics but cannot attach them through this format. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

To give you the correct suspension, the axle capacity would be important. For the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/8" Long # e54SR you were asking from would use the integrated bushings, the shackle straps # 115052 (x4), and bolts # 166081 (x6). If you need U-bolts use # APUBR-1.
