SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. Place the
springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See
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 ½” x 6 ½” 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 ½” 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 ¼” hex bolts and
lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the ½” fine threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 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 periodi-
cally thereafter.
