Is 3/4 Inch Gap OK For 2 Inch Slipper Springs

Updated 06/29/2023 | Published 06/27/2023

Question:

I have a question on dual slipper spring alignment. My new 2 inch spring eyes on the front have a side to side gap of about 3/4 of an inch, should that gap be that wide? I got the kit with spring hangers but the new ones have the same gap. How much should the spring eye move from side to side?

Thank you very much for your purchase directly from etrailer; the 3/4" gap with the # HAP-105-205-03 is fine as they need an appropriate amount of movement. If there wasn't that gap the suspension would be quite stiff and wear out quickly due to consistent contact.
