Tire Size and Carrying Capacity Chart
Tire Size ....................... ST215/75R 14-C
GVWR .......................... 2995 lb.
Carrying Capacity ....... 2300 lb.
Axle .............................. Non-Brake
Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
Recommended carrying capacity is based on
shipping weight of the trailer with standard
equipment. Adding optional equipment may
decrease the trailer’s carrying capacity.
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 Diagram D). 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.
