Place the springs on the topside of the spring
pads welded to the axle. (See chassis diagram)
The hook end of the spring must be mounted to
the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the
top center of the spring. Place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-
bolts over the top of the spring clamp, spring and
axle. Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto
the ends of the two U-bolts. Secure in place with
1/2” lock nuts. Tighten enough to keep springs
