Boat too long for trailer?

[bruceb58]

Those heavier springs would give you a total weight capacity of 9400 lbs

How did you come up with that number?

OP said that the springs were supposed to be 2350 each, times 2 axles (4 springs) = 9400. Didn't make sense to me. Trailer axles, springs and tires are matched in capacity usually. If its got 3500 axles, the springs should be 1750 each.

either way the problem is STILL an unlevel trailer or incorrectly assembled components and has nothing whatsoever to do with spring capacity, boat length, or tongue weight.

3500 lb axles ABSOLUTELY DO NOT need more than 1750 lb springs I don't care if etrailer, the manufacturer, or the pope says otherwise.

Mystery solved.....#3700 axles. Shackle locations and equalizer designed to accommodate the spring rate of a #2350 spring.
