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). 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.
