Hello Jeremy, For your ST175/80R13 tire, you will want to go with a 13" x 4 1/2" to 5 1/2" wheel. I do not currently see that we have the Viking series #AX02550545BML available in that size, but I am reaching out to the manufacturer to…

Assuming your tires are in good shape without any bulges the easiest way to determine if you have a bent spindle is to take a straight edge that is longer than the tire and lay it across the tire parallel with your trailer frame and then measure the…

Hello again, Doug. The #e22YR spring is for a 4,000 lb axle, so technically this is already more robust than what would typically be used with your axle. If you want to bump up the capacity even farther, we do have the #e27SR spring which is 26"…

It sounds like you installed leaf springs that weren't the correct length for your setup. Looking at your equalizer it looks like your springs are too long. The simplest solution would be to have your front and rear suspension hangers removed and…

Great question, Joseph! If you want to stick with something similar to what you already have you would want to go with part #DMC74FR. Make sure to measure the space your original water heater is in just to make sure this water heater will fit. This…

We do carry the Dometic RV Water Heater #DMC74FR which you could use to replace your Atwood G6A-8E 6 gal RV Water Heater, but I highly recommend switching over to a tankless system like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater 60,000 BTU #FR98SR. This…

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

A replacement tang-style spindle washer like part #5-101 is intended to be installed behind the castle nut and have its prongs bent down so that they prevent the castle nut from rotating on an E-Z Lube type spindle. The castle nut holds the washer in…

The suspension in general on your trailer looks very worn. I would replace as much as I could on it to get it back to good working order. The problem with the equalizer cocked to one side like that can happen sometimes. It usually fixes itself when a…

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…

The first and easiest thing you should check is that the trailer is being towed level. If the trailer is nose high or low that can cause the equalizers to not sit level. You will need to select the correct rise/drop ball mount so that the trailer…
