Question:
This is a tandem axle travel trailer, are you recommending two sets of Sumo spring helpers? I would rather install the heavy duty leaf springs. 25 1/4 eye to eye. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
It is possible to upgrade the leaf springs on a trailer to a higher rated set but I do not recommend this as it can create a rough ride. The better option would be to install the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-107-40 for overslung or part # TSS-106-40 for underslung axles. These will offer both additional support without decreasing the ride quality.
If you would still like for me to recommend a set of upgraded leaf springs, I'd need to know the unloaded length from eye to eye.
