The Low-Down on the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles Video

It sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. The #MR79ZR is indeed the correct suspension upgrade kit for your 2007 Colorado 5th wheel with LRE suspension. Moryde makes a fantastic suspension upgrade kit. The heavy duty shackles and wet…

What's up, Chuck? You can definitely use higher-rated springs for your trailer, and for that I recommend checking out the 25-1/4" Long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,400-lb Trailer Axles #DX95CR. Be sure to change out the leaf springs on…

Hey Mike, Was your measurement for the leaf spring length taken while the trailer was sitting on the axles or while lifted with the axles hanging? As the springs wear over time they lose their rigidity and can start to flatten out, which can cause…

Sounds like your brake controller will apply your trailer brakes if you apply the manual override lever but not when you press the brake pedal. This is a fairly common problem and the solution is the red wire of the brake controller. Make sure it is…

If you think the cause for the noise on your 2015 Jayco Whitehawk 24RBS tandem-axle travel trailer is from the normal travel of the suspension components (leaf springs, equalizers and shackle straps), you might switch over to wet bolts. The squeaking…

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…

Based on the photo and information you provided, I can tell you have 12 x 2 inch Dexter brake assemblies for 5.2K axles, for which the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA will be an excellent replacement. These are self-adjusting brakes so they…

Hey Steve, Thank you for that information you provided, it sets me up to get you the direct replacements. For that replacement brake assembly you will want to go with the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Brakes #23-458-459. This is the left and right hand…

The best option for you is going to be to crawl under the trailer and read the tag on the center of the axle. This will tell you the weight capacity of your axle which will be needed to find the correct replacement braking assembly. I can see from…

The AL-KO brakes can have a few different mounting patterns, so I recommend measuring to double check. I included a picture of how the Dexter #23-458-459 will measure to compare as well. Odds are these are correct, but it never hurts to double check.…

The #AKEBRK-35L-SA Self Adjusting brake assemblies will adjust themselves as you drive after the initial installation. The front brakes will always bear a bit more of the braking work, because more of the trailer weight is normally on the most…
