Question:
Ive been trying to figure this out for several weeks. Contacted yall multiple times. I have a tandem axle trailer. I am unsure if the suspension on this trailer was assembled correctly or even has the correct parts long story. I have purchased dexter axles from you 7359765-EB. I now need everything else except hangers. The current hangers are 29 1/2 inches OC. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE TAKEOFF LEAF SPRING WERE!!! Can you please help me with the other stuff?

Thanks for all of the information, Robert!
It sounds like you have the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers # H248 installed on your tandem axle trailer so to get your Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 7359765-EB installed you need the following parts:
- 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR
- CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23002
- Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # AP233
You need a total of 4 leaf spring, 2 of the U-Bolt kits, and just one of the suspension kits to get your axles installed.
I've attached some review and installation videos for you to check out. Let me know if you need help with any other parts on your trailer and I'll be happy to help out!
