Tires Hitting Fender Well on a Nitro Boat Trailer  

You actually should shoot for 4-1/2" of clearance between the top of your tire and the bottom of the fender well. This accounts for flex in your suspension. Unless 2,280 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer then you…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Hi Bruce, To lift your trailer we'll first need to check of the suspension and see if you have torsion axles or a leaf spring suspension. If you have torsion axles then I'll need to see the axle tag in order to determine what you have…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding 3/4" of…

The length Dexter posts for their leaf springs is the flattened length, so with the 072-042 having a length of 26" you would want to compare that to our 25-1/4" long springs as we measure their length with the spring relaxed. The 3-Leaf…

I can certainly point you in the right direction. We do have the #e22YR which is a 26" long 2,000 lb leaf spring. We also have the #e44SR which is a 25-1/4" long 2,500 lb spring. When replacing old leaf springs, it is critical that the…

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…

Hey Nate, yes we do have replacement wet bolts for the EZ flex equalizers with the part #34007-187-00.

If what you have now Chad is pretty flat at 26 inches then the best replacement size would be 25-1/4 inches like you mentioned. Since you wanted to increase the capacity you would want the part #e57SR which is for 4k trailer axles.

I'd recommend the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles part #e57SR which measure 25-1/4" long and have a bit more capacity than your standard 3,500 lb spring so they won't wear out as fast. This means you must also replace…

I am happy to try to help you find a bearing kit for your Bix Tex trailer. Unfortunately we are not able to recommend a bearing kit based off of just the axle capacity. One way to find out your bearing sizes would be to have a Bix Tex dealership run…
