Hey guys
need a little suspension help on my trailer. The guy I bought it from did a real hack job on it and its starting to sag to one side now. He used blocks of wood over the springs. pics here

I am looking for two solutions here.
1. quick and cheap fix (bandaid) to get me to the next couple of job sites.
2. the right way

while im thinking springs, I just got my war153 shackles in the mail yesterday and found myself quite impressed with the quality. nice part! Thanks for the call on those.
thanks again

Id just go to a trailer supply place and get new leaf springs packs. JCW carries them as well. I don't really know of a better solution. Maybe someone will jump in here with a better idea.

Yeah thats probally what I will have to do but for now im looking for a quick fix. Hoping someone here can come up with something. I have a pretty busy work load right now and I cant have my trailer down long. Either way I will be working on it tomorrow afternoon. will post pics of my results (if any)
thanks

Here is another question while I am looking at these pics.
In this pic:

there are 2 wires, well one is basically a cord. The orange one is the same sheathing as an extension cord with 4 trailer wires in it. I don't know if the guy that wired this actually fed 4 wires through an old extension cord sheathing (which must have sucked) or if this is something you can buy. If its the ladder I would like to know where I could get some. its nice stuff. any iinput would be great.
THANKS

Its probably an old extension cord with the ends cut off. You can sometimes find 4 strand bulk cord at hardware stores.

You can also goto tractor supply company, rural king...probably farm supply store. Everyone i've ever been to has trailer building material, and i bet you could find a set of leaves there. I don't specifically remember seeing any the last time I was there but it's worth a shot if ya got one nearby. And if they don't you can walk around looking at stuff you want to get (i can spend hours in there haha)

Go to a moble home dealer and get a whole new axle and leafs. Plus when you need tires they sell the tire and rim for like 50 bux or so, i think. Good Luck
