Went to fit up the LoadPlus but are slightly longer and doesn't fit under the chassis of the trailer.
Oh well back to the drawing board.

Mego when I had a HD standard sized trailer and wanted to drag it up creeks and over sandhills around Alice Springs I turfed the short trailer springs and put a set of triton rear leaves in .They are a two main leaf with eyes both ends and from memory a 5 pack spring and all I did was take the bottom 2 leaves off which gave me a soft riding trailer that didn't bounce around and no shockies as the leaves will give you a damping effect as they compress. Cost 6 stubbies and 4 new eye brackets as they were a bit wider but still a standard trailer spring pack size .Never had a drama and that trailer went every where.
U have 4 choices in life :U can like it; lump it; love it or shove it, take your pick and stick to it !

Purchased a set of ARK leaf spring pack, rated to 1000kgs, hopefully won't be to stiff fir the boat.
Looking at the old springs closely today, found them to have sagged probably 2". Really sitting low. Never noticed it sitting so low.
I fit em up and see how it sits.
I went for this cos of ease of fitment and no modifications.

@ Mego are your springs slipper style or Eye to eye style. If you need more height I have a quick fix
@ Kallen why don't I just make extended shackle plates to achieve a bit more lift.

They slipper type.
Lift is NOT what I require, otherwise the trailer needs to be further in the water for me to launch.
It is only a short trailer.

1,000 Kgs sounds a lot for a boat, but we haven't seen you load it up for a trip......

It is only 250kg more than they are now.
And seeing the trailer is only 2-3 yrs old and the springs are shot and sagging, it's definitely had its fair share of loaded work.

Should be good then .... just sounds like they would shake the boat to bits

not sure of the term but why not get them re scragged at Brooklyn spring works.
that's who I'd be talking to
