Question:
I bought this trailer, it was a seadoo trailer and it has been modified A LOT. So anyway, I going to put on new leaf springs, but from center to center is is measuring 30.25. Im making a Kayak trailer out of it. Im thinking that Im going to have to move the hangers, can you give me some advice?

Expert Reply:
Hey Darrel, we do not have any leaf springs that are close to 30-1/4 inches so yeah you are going to need to move the hangers to a closer distance to use a spring like the # DX93CR which is 20-7/16 inches long.
If you need a hanger kit to replace what you have we have the part # APS4 which comes with everything you'd need.
