Trailer leaf springs question.

**BigRAWesty** · 15th June 2013, 04:57 PM

Before you go buying 1000kg spring packs mega, think about this.

If you have a pack to suit a ton, when your only taking the boat there will be no give in the springs, and you may as well weld the shaft to the chassis...

I would keep your lighter rating, and attach some variable load shocks..
There an air shock which work like the bag style for coils.
Only a couple of hundred and a few hours welding and vola.. done.

When your empty you have a nice ride, when loaded it maintains its height and still rides nice.. and is completely adjustable to suit whatever the load..

Mr Mego.
Now don`t forget that if you go over 700Kgs you need brakes and if you go over 2000Kgs you need a brake away system.
This is just a thought as I don`t know how much grog you carry.

There`s not only the grog but what about the fish on the way home.
Guess they could be used to bribe the nice policeman.
