The portion of the rear hanger with TOP labeled on it will get welded to the trailer frame. I am including a picture of the hangar that shows the top marking and how it is positioned on the trailer. I attached an FAQ on trailer suspension for you to…
Hey Cliff, the diameter of the coiled wire rope of the Fastway Breakaway Cable part #FA80-00-2060 that you referenced is 3/16 of an inch. Are you worried it might break?
The spacing is going to depend on the size of your tires, so let's start with that. For a 16 inch wheel/tire combo with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern the best option is a ST235/80R16 size tire with a load range of G to handle the capacity of…

It sounds like you are comparing the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator #HS381-8067 and the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator #HBA16. The Marine #HS381-8067 features stainless steel hardware, a vented end plate, and a…
Slipper Springs like #e33SR do not use a bolt and bushing for the open eye end of the spring. It connects directly to the hanger using a slipper spring hanger kit.
A bushing is not required for the c-hook end (sometimes called an open eye end) of a slipper spring like the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End #e33SR. The closed eye of this spring does have a bushing included; I have added a link to a video…
