Hey Dane! I went down to our warehouse to measure the airbags from Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs #AL60828HD and they came out to 12" tall (12-1/2" including Schrader valve) and 5" wide while uninflated.…

Hey Cynthia, thanks for the information! Your Dexter 6,000 lbs axle typically uses a 25-1/4" long 5-Leaf Double-Eye Springs like the item #e34SR you were looking at. I see your RV is a 2021 Grand Design Reflection. What specific model is your…

Hey Garret, thanks for the information. I've got a couple of options to upgrade your 3,500 lbs axle. One's a standard axle the other includes brakes and braking hubs. They both have a 5,200 lbs capacity, a 95" hub face, and 80"…

Since you said you have Torsion axles I need to know what brand of axles they are and what capacity to determine what lift kit you'd need.

I don't have any way to look up parts for a specific trailer, if you can send photos I'd be glad to see if we have any options for replacement. That said, it looks like some use them use a fairly standard rectangular taillight for trailers…

Hey Vincent! The only way to make sure this fits is to identify your axle capacity and then measure your leaf springs. If you have 3,500 lb axles (should be listed on your axle tags) this is the right capacity. If your current leaf springs measure…

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…

Hey Scot, thanks for all of the details! The D52 on your axle should mean that the axle is rated for 5,200 lbs so if that 26" you measured is with the frame lifted up so there isn't pressure on the spring, then I recommend picking up the…

Hey, Lance. The direction the springs are in doesn't matter. They can be to the front or to the rear of the axle and will perform the same either way. What kind of trailer are you working on?

You are indeed right to think this way. When picking out the appropriate leaf springs for your custom built trailer you will want to choose them based on what the actual loaded weight of the trailer will be. Just make sure that the leaf springs have…

Trailer leaf springs can grow longer after many years of use. A new springs that measures 25-1/4-inches long like #e57SR could easily measure 25-1/2-inches after years in service on a trailer. Springs can lengthen as much as 3/4 of an inch. If your…
