Question:

Im not quite sure which over/under kit i need for 5200# axles and I am interested in replacing the hardware on my leaf springs while installing and not sure how to identify what all I need to buy. I want serviceable shackle hardware and bolts as per my dry factory stuff. Its a 2016 Evergreen Reactor 25fqs if that helps. Thanks..

We can get you set up with both the over/under kit and the hardware for your leaf springs. Thank you for the info on your axle capacity as it was exactly what was needed to get you the right kit, and since a 5,200 lb axle is 3 inches in diameter, the correct over/under is the following:

- Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00

Then for a suspension upgrade kit, by "serviceable shackle hardware" I believe you are looking for a wet bolt kit, and the best option for your tandem axle trailer is a kit from MORryde that has 1/2 inch shackle straps wet bolts with grease zerks for easy maintenance, and bronze bushings, all of which are going to be a big upgrade for your trailer:
