Question:

Would this spring serve as replacement for my GD Trailer? I has Lippert axle GAWR of 5200 lbs. I measured it, while installed, and it is about 26 inches. Perhaps stretched? I dont see an exact replacement for 5200 axle.

Expert Reply:

No, the etrailer # e28SR would not work for your 2017 Grand Design Reflection with 5,200lb axles.

To find the correct spring you need to jack up one side of the trailer so there is no weight on the spring at all, as weight will make the spring get longer, and then measure from center of eye to center of eye.

If the 26" measurement is with weight on the spring, then there's a good chance you'll instead need the # e76SR instead which has a 5,300lb rating and measures 24-7/8" long.

Let me know your spring measurement and I'd be happy to confirm the correct spring replacement for you.
