Expert Reply:

It will be time to update your suspension on you motorcycle trailer. Current leaf springs for trailers are all 1-3/4" wide. To update your trailer you will need a correct Spring Hanger Kit # APS2. This will give you new hangers that will need to be welded to your frame. These will fit inside where your old mounts are as the new leaf springs will be much shorter. I have linked a help article below that will help you with the suspension systems on trailers.

For leaf springs there are several options available based on the weight capacity of the trailer and where you will be able to mount the new mounts.
