We can definitely narrow it down, but it is difficult to say with 100% certainty what the weight rating is based on those specs. Generally a 6 lug hub will be on axles rated between 5,200 and 6,000 lbs. There are some 3,500 lb axles that use a 6 lug…
view full answer...Length-wise the leaf spring part #SP-210275 that you referenced is about right at 27 inches. Since your trailer only weighs 1,500 lbs though this is going to give you a somewhat rough ride quality. A better option would be #e77SR most likely as it…
view full answer...I attached a picture that shows the proper position of shackles and equalizers on trailer suspension. Sometimes the shackle will flip up but if you jack up the trailer by the axle that's got the shackle flipped you can usually get it to flip back…
view full answer...The spacing will depend on the axle diameter and on which particular spring hanger kit you use. If you have a 6000 lb 3 inch diameter axle, and you're using the #APT5 hanger kit which includes 7-3/4 inch equalizers and 2-5/8 inch shackle straps…
view full answer...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…
view full answer...Trailer axles are designed to have the bow in them that you described. This allows the axle to flatten out when it is loaded and have the proper camber. If you have axles that are rated for considerably more than what the trailer will ever have…

view full answer...The angle of the shackle straps is not a precise measurement but you will want them to be around 45 degrees. The diagram may look different but staying around 45 degrees is where you will want to be. I have included a link to our FAQ article on…
view full answer...In order for your trailer suspension to function properly you will want the angle of the shackle strap to be towards the axle so that as the leaf spring compresses and expands it will have somewhere it can go. Otherwise, you will not get the optimum…
view full answer...It does look like you have shackle straps that are to long and possibly worn out bushings. You can replace your shackles with the 2-1/4" Shackle #LC122487. You will need 8 of these for the entire trailer. I would recommend pulling a couple of…
view full answer...Thanks for the pictures! If you're getting that loud of noise out of your 2019 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheel's equalizers then it is time to replace them. Greasing them won't fix that loud clunking noise. If your axles are 35" on center…
view full answer...Can you please send me a photo of your equalizer and how it is positioned on the axle? As long as the shackle straps are facing the correct direction (see photo) and the equalizer is not contacting the trailer frame then I don't see an issue. The…
