Can I Use Heavier Rated Leaf Springs on Trailer Without Causing Damage  

You are indeed right to think this way. When picking out the appropriate leaf springs for your custom built trailer you will want to choose them based on what the actual loaded weight of the trailer will be. Just make sure that the leaf springs…

Hello Ken. I am not sure exactly how long your current U-bolts are, but you will probably be able to re use them. It just depends on how long they are and how much thread is left. Assuming your 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves it would…

You can use heavier-duty leaf springs like part #e44SR on your tandem axle boat trailer. The dimensions of the springs are the same so you will have no problem installing the new springs.The ride may be a bit stiffer with the new springs but they…

Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…

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…

Hey Roy, The only U-bolt kit we currently only offer for 1-1/2" square axles is part #CE23102, which only has a 3-3/8" length so it likely wouldn't be the best option for you. Instead you'll want to order the 1-1/2" Square…

Hey Travis, I do appreciate you reaching out, but we do not offer any 5 on 5 hubs for a 1" straight spindle. All of our 5 on 5 hubs use the standard 3,500 lb axle spindle which is a #L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) inner bearing and a…

You can upgrade the 1750 lb leaf springs to 2500 lb leaf springs. You do want to keep in mind that the ride may be a bit stiffer since you are upgrading your springs to a higher capacity. Like you mention upgrading the springs will not give you a…

Hey Bill, sorry to hear about all the trouble you're having but after looking at the pictures you sent in I'd have to agree with the tech. I think you're going to need to up your springs to a beefier set like the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring…

Hey Duffy, I do appreciate you reaching out, but I am sorry to say that we do not offer a 3,500 lb axle that meets your specifications. We do not carry really any square axles, and all of our 3,500 lb axles are round tube. Alos we only carry two…

The Lippert Equa-Flex #LC145546 is the closest cushioned equalizer from Lippert to fitting your Grand Design 2800BH. This particular kit is rated for 5K-8K axles. The MORryde CRE3000 #MR27ZR is going to be the best option for your camper. While this…

What's up, Chuck? You can definitely use higher-rated springs for your trailer, and for that I recommend checking out the 25-1/4" Long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,400-lb Trailer Axles #DX95CR. Be sure to change out the leaf springs on…
