[QUOTE="enwez, post: 473104, member: 24535"] Don't have pics of it at the moment, it is parked at my Dad's house (No room at my apartment!). It is a 1990 trailer and I have no idea if the parts are stock or not when I bought it off of a guy 1.5 years ago. The tires have a 55mph max speed rating and need to be replaced. I want to get ones rated or at least 70mph. The springs could be 30 years old. The bearings definitely need service if not replacing. I will look into 15" wheels (currently has 13"). Easy enough since I am already replacing the tires/wheels. Thanks for the suggestion! So I think I will just buy new springs since they are not even very expensive. I'm already stripping it for paint, new tires/wheels, redoing wiring, possibly replacing bearings, and winch. Might as well get new springs! Awesome, thanks! I will see what they have for suggestions. Cheers. Ok glad to know this is a thing people already do! I think I will go for new springs since I can afford them and my current ones could be 30years old... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
