Can SumoSprings Trailer Helper Spring Kit Fit with 3 inches from Axle to Frame

Updated 03/02/2022 | Published 03/01/2022

Question:

I was looking at SumoSprings for my 6x12 cargo trailer with a single #3500 axle located above the spring. The distance from the spring to the frame is 5.75 inches. The distance from the axle to the frame is about 3 inches. Is this enough room? If not, options? thanks

The height of the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket # TSS-106-40 is 4 inches for just the rubber spring portion of it. Since you have 3 inches from the axle to the frame that would indicate that there would be a compression of about 1 inch. This is pretty common when people install this and many like that it adds a little bit of trailer height from additional support.
