Question:
Hello I was looking at your leaf springs part number # E93SR, which are rust resistant and rated for 2000 each. We have a: 2020 Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser 19ERD GVW- 4380 5 lug hub 3 leaf spring Dexter axle model D40 1 3/4 wide, 3/8 thick 25 1/4 unloaded, tube diameter 3” I am concerned with the gvr being heavier than the rating. Would there be a heavier spring that would work with our gvr? Or would that part be adequate? I also want to pick out the correct U-bolts for the 3” axle. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Steven

Hey Steven!
The etrailer Rust-Resistant 3-Leaf Double Eye Spring for 4K Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long - Dacromet # e93SR will be adequate for your 2020 Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser since the Dexter D40 number correlates to a 4,000 lbs hub and drum kit like Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 4,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # K08-426-91. Going any higher will not be beneficial to your suspension and may likely give you a stiffer ride, causing bouncing or sway while driving.
The next step up from this leaf spring would be etrailer Rust-Resistant 4-Leaf Double Eye Spring for 5K Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long - Dacromet # e28SR, which is rated for 5,000 lbs and has the same specifications as the # e93SR. This would be rated higher than your GVWR, but that's not going to improve anything about your ride, it's just going to be a bit stiffer than the # e93SR.
For a u-bolt kit that fits your 3" axle, the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 7" Long U-Bolts # APUBR-8 is the way to go. It includes your u-bolts, axle plates, and nuts so that you have a brand new kit to replace your worn out u-bolts.
Where do you plan on taking that Vista Cruiser? Are you doing the maintenance yourself?

Im not sure how resistant the springs are to corrosion just yet! I only launched twice in past six months ! So far they look ok from salt water

Thank you for your guidance Jerry. I am going to attempt this myself and I hope the U-bolt kit will have torque specs included? I will be working on an order soon!
