Trailer Leaf Spring Replacement and Repair - etrailer.com

do you know if it is possible to fit spring leaf above axle to gain overall height of a caravan... Thanks :)

@samsung30501 If, by caravan, you mean trailer, than this can be done and we have a kit for it on etrailer(dot)com. However, it will need to be installed by a professional installer or welder at a trailer or RV shop. If you are referring to a Dodge Caravan, this should not be done by anyone.

What are shackle links for? And where does it go, in front or rear?

[etrailertv]

@LostInMadness220 The shackle links are used to connect the rear of the spring with the rear hanger for this suspension setup. The shackle links add an extra pivot point to the leaf suspenion proivding more range of movement for the spring, allowing the axle to ride over bumps more smoothly and helping the suspension to absorb more shock.

Ok thank you.I was afraid of removing one of the clamps that hold the leafs together because I thought that I would have compress it in some way in order to cancel the spring force.

please show me how can i remove one leaf of the whole package.Thanks

[etrailertv]

I will put a video request to show how to remove one leaf from a leaf spring.

The bolt that goes through the center of the leaves is what holds it together. If you remove that bolt, you will be able to remove a leaf. Please remember that you will be reducing the weight capacity by doing so. Be sure to tighten the bolt and nut when you are finished.
