Stabilizer jacks are not designed to carry the full weight of trailer so I can not recommend using them as a way to hold the trailer when you work on it. Having it connected to your truck would be the way to go.

Answer 1

Good question, and what happens is that leaf springs elongate over time, and since you mentioned you got measurements of 25-1/2 inches from center eye to center eye and 26 inches under partial load, the best option for leaf springs really is the…

Answer 7

The MORryde ALLTREK 4000 part #MR89DR should fit but you'd need to measure your equalizers first to be sure since your wheelbase is not one of the more common ones. If your equalizer has a distance of 6-1/2 inches between the bolt centers (or…

Answer 8

Most likely the measurement is 25-1/8 inch as that is a common size. But in most cases we recommend measuring the spring with it off the trailer and typically there is a bit of stretch to old springs by around 1/2 inch or so. The spring you would…

Answer 9

If your existing leaf springs measure 25-1/2" then the correct replacement is likely either 25-1/8" or 25-1/4" as leaf springs stretch over time. Please note, leaf springs should also be measured with the trailer unloaded. I have…

Answer 10

It looks like the springs that you have are the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles #SP-210275. These springs do not have a lot of curve built into them at 2-3/4" when relaxed from eylet to top of spring pack. There are some…

Hey Mike, To determine if the MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers #MR87ZR would be a compatible fit you'll first want to measure the bolt hole spacing on your current equalizers. The #MR87ZR has a 6-1/2" center to center…
