Well THERE'S your problem!
« on: July 25, 2022, 06:50:32 AM »
I noticed on one side of the boat trailer the boat was sitting lower than the other.  Investigation found the leaf spring was FLAT.  It looked like it lost it's temper but that seemed odd.

I pulled it yesterday, and unless this is a "take down" model of leaf spring I think I found the issue!

Right wing shooter, I aim for the left!!!

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

I tried adding more cowbell, but that did not work either.

JB Weld would work well, and if you need axle and hub parts see @lokidog.

Right now i am having a heck of a time finding an eye to slipper leaf spring that is 25.75 inches long, 1.75 inch wide and at least 1k per spring (1.7k per sping would be better.

I think i will cannibalize my canoe trailer as they.are perfect and then convert that trailer to an eye to eye spring.

Nothing “Add-A Leaf” could not fix  :dunno:

It's a redundant system, there's a set in the other side of the trailer, you're fine. I swear some of you guys are so skittish.

You notice anything funny the last time you towed it or do you think you got lucky and caught it right away?
