Title: Leaf spring equalizer thing...
Post by: riptide84 on July 28, 2014, 10:22:09 PM

Does this look right? Is one leaf spring suppose to be up and one down like this?

If I am correct your trailer is not level. Your tongue height is either to high or too low. It's normal but you want it to be level when towing.

Somebody jacked that trailer up to the moon... You need to relax the suspension and flip the forward shackle, the shackles always "Hang" the load...

So both shackles should be facing up?

Depends on what  end your talking about...  ;)

The shackle should be going "up" from the crossbar...
