Light Duty Trailer Leaf Springs

 

Using light duty trailer for frequent hauling, towing, or heavy duty tasks, light duty trailer leaf springs are a necessary upgrade. Hauling, towing, and numerous other heavy duty tasks are easier when having equipped vehicle, truck, or light duty trailer with custom leaf springs. Leaf springs are sized to fit particular makes and models of vehicles, trucks, and light duty trailers. For the best performance and smoothest ride with leaf springs, it is important to install custom leaf springs that meet exact demands and specifications pulling the light duty trailer.

 

Light duty trailer leaf springs need to be selected based on the axle weight rating, as well as on the type of spring, length and dimensions. Axles typically have an identifying sticker or plate that provides its weight rating. In some cases, light duty trailer leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle indicates can be installed as long as they are the correct measurement size for the trailer. It could, however, create a stiffer ride.

 

Light duty trailer leaf springs hold the chassis at ride height and control the rate at which the chassis rolls. It also controls rear end wrap up and lateral forces. It acts as a type of suspension system for light duty trailer. Installing leaf springs on vehicles is like restoring its suspension, and having a vehicle sitting the way it did on the day it left the lot. Leaf springs are used on heavy duty vehicles to lift or lower ride height. They are typically used to carry additional weight and maintain ride height by increasing or decreasing a vehicle’s spring rate. Leaf springs are frequently used on cars and work trucks, emergency vehicles, armored vehicles, handicap vehicles, limousines, farm equipment, and trailers.

 

A leaf spring installation is a popular and easy upgrade. Installing leaf springs on light duty trailers and vehicle suspension systems will give trailers and trucks longer and more durable lives. The amount of weight they can support is exceptional. Their purpose is to absorb a huge amount of weight for a vehicle to carry, as well as to provide lift and to prevent sagging. Leaf springs are the answer to giving trailer or truck the enhanced hauling performance and stability need to help do the job. Leaf springs will prepare to effortlessly take on any size task and not put undue stress on light duty trailer or truck.

 

Trucks, vans, large work vehicles, and trailers are often overloaded, and the extra weight puts undue stress on a vehicle’s axles and tires. A sagging rear end can cause the rear tires to flatten and point headlights upward instead of level with the road. A leaf spring suspension absorbs gravity at the rear end of a vehicle and helps support the suspension system. Regular visual inspections are important. Custom leaf springs provide shock absorption, and are specifically engineered to significantly increase carrying capacity and improve ride spring rate.
