I do know that I have "sprung" two sets of leaf springs over the years. We'll see how these work out. Hope all is well.<br /><br />steveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060896232365651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-48486123151276612052020-01-15T02:53:47.699-05:002020-01-15T02:53:47.699-05:00Given that Load-Rite is selling those 2-leaf sprin...Given that Load-Rite is selling those 2-leaf springs individually, wouldn't the 600lb capacity be per-spring (1200lbs per set)? Either way, if your springs are sprung you probably need heavier ones, but Spartina will have a bumpier ride on the stiffer springs, so drive accordingly.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334374556478322063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-24632494358183513272020-01-12T15:58:27.063-05:002020-01-12T15:58:27.063-05:00You are right, Bill, I can repack the bearing.

It's easy. Do you have bearing buddies on the hubs? Makes it even easier. <br /><br />Maybe in the spring I can make the pilgrimage back down your way and stow away aboard Spartina for a couple hours on a nice day in the river - it's been too long...Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950317902951463280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-74435539028113550302020-01-12T07:30:14.571-05:002020-01-12T07:30:14.571-05:00Agreed.

And the load rating? If your springs were undersized, the tires might be up at their limit. <br /><br />https://smallboatsmonthly.com/article/trailer-tires/<br /><br />We like that cold galvanizing spray, works great in our saltwater environment.Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348010423683995165noreply@blogger.com
