SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the
trailer. Place the springs on the top side of the
spring pads welded to the axle. (See chassis dia-
gram). Note that 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 as shown. Next
place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the top of
the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of
the two U-bolts just placed. Secure in place with 1/2”
lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten
securely until the complete unit is in position on the
trailer. Repeat on the other spring.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into
the rear of the spring bracket and secure with
a 9/16” x 3 1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut.
Repeat in other spring bracket.
Position the axle under the frame, then hook the hook
loop of the spring around the bushings just installed. Note
that if the axle is positioned too low when trying to hook,
the hooks will not hook around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with
the front hole of the spring bracket. Secure in place
with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened
at this time.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2”
fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to
80-90 ft./lb. of torque using the rotation pattern as
shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then
periodically thereafter.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on
shipping weight of the trailer with standard
equipment. Adding optional equipment may
decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
