There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…
view full answer...If the leaf springs are located under the axle then adding leaves will lower the trailer whereas if they are mounted on top of the axle then adding leaves will raise the trailer. That said, the amount of rise/drop is very minimal (most leaves are…
view full answer...A larger trailer tire basically wins in every category like you mentioned. Less rolling resistance, less affected by bumps in road for smoother ride quality, and bearings/hub spins less so in theory less wear and tear. So as long as you have room for…
view full answer...The closest size we have to a 25.5" slipper spring is 24-5/8". Do understand that this may be the correct size for your application since as leaf springs sag and get flatter they also get longer in length. Also the amount of leaves a spring…
view full answer...It is certainly possible that the springs have already worn out. One way or another, the leaf springs on your Cargo Mate enclosed trailer definitely should not be flat. Assuming you have the original hangers and shackle strap on the trailer and they…

view full answer...You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

view full answer...I definitely recommend replacing your 3,500 lb 26 inch leaf springs with the 26 inch 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles #e22YR. The 4,500 lb would be too stiff and your ride would suffer so the better option by far are the 4k…
