trailer repair
I've been replace the spring bushings on my trailer to tighten up the suspension, they are aplastic bushing that were completely worn out. i also replaced all the bushings in the equalizers too. I replaced the shackle straps, all elongated bolt holes, my question is the straps were about 5/8 of an inch longer on the replacements and was wondering if this could cause a problem with the springs. I also replaced the tires and wheels too. Thanks for any help on this.

Re: trailer repair
I can see it changing the arc, but not enough to say so. I think I'd try them, and if I didn't like them, it's easy enough to make some the same as the old ones

Re: trailer repair
Agree, shouldn't make any difference.
Suggest max loading the trailer then checking the distance between the axle, fenders, and the trailer frame.

I have an excuse. CRS.
