@mauiboisugi No honest question is ever stupid. Tnx for the compliment on the truck. You are right that drilling holes makes it weaker. But even more important is where you make the hole. The holes you see here lower the strength about 2% in transverse flexure about the neutral axis. Translation: It is the top and bottom that takes the bending load in the Z axis. The sides hardly carry any of that load. Drilling hole in top or bottom would weaken it a lot.

@RatRodSlant6Valiant Thanks! The new springs have held up without any issues so far.

Greetings, I have a cow trailer and I was thinking of putting a leaf suspension on it. It's only a single axle trailer but how do you work out how much weight for the amount of steel to be applied?
krazyhartin 10 months ago
@krazyhartin A good spring shop will be able to recommend aproper set of leaf springs once you tell them the weight. They will look at the "spring rate" (stiffness), travel desired (deflection) and total load carrying capability. In classic terms for a LINEAR spring.....F=KX where F is the force, K is the spring constant and X is the deflection. The math is non linear for leafs but is fairly clear cut.
