mounted on the trailer in the future. Place the springs on the
topside of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See Diagram
E). Note that the hook end of the spring must be 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. Secure 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 rear 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 rear
hole in the axle boogie just installed. Attach with 9/16” x 3-
1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Install another spring bracket bushing in the front holes on
the rock arm assemblies. Attach with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex
bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front axle
over the bushing just installed in the rocker arm assembly.
Then swing the front of the spring up and attach the front
mounting hole in the spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3-
1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this
time.

ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms. Note that the center bushing has a
grease zerk in it. Position the rocker arms up into the center
channel welded in the center of the tandem spring bracket
so that the grease zerk is pointing down. Align the holes in
the channel with the rocker arm. Secure in place with a 1/2”
x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten. Repeat this process
on the other rocker arm and spring bracket. Grease the
rocker at this time by applying grease through the zerk just
discussed. NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so
that it is accessible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the
trailer as shown. Position the brake axle so that the disc
brake calipers are on the backside of the axle. The brake
axle must always be mounted as the rear axle to give you
the best braking possible. Place the front axle so the holes
for routing the brake hose are to the rear in the event that
second axle brakes will be
