Hi, we pretty much have the same trailers, and our samurais are built about the same. ( yours a tin top mine is a soft top) I have weighed my trailer and was over by about 100 lbs. with my samurai inside. if you have the 4 leaf springs they are only rated for 2200.lbs each. ( per lippert)I broke one on the 15. 8800 lbs of springs and 12000 lb axles.(2 x 6000)their idea is the springs will break before the axles, go figure. since then I have installed 3000lb springs and the Dex. EZ flex shackles for under $500 and have not had a problem since. Lance



Yes sir, I have the 4 leaf springs.
Wow, yes... I am for sure over loaded on the stock springs.

Any chance you have the part numbers or where you bought your springs from ?

And another question :
Did you stick with close to the same size on the EZ Flex and go with the 5 5/8" model or go larger with the 7 3/4" model ?

Hi, I got the springs from Truckspring.com and the part# is MTS-111. double check your spring eye to eye measurement, it should be 25.25". As for the dexter kit, sorry I do not remember, my trailer is stored elsewhere and I could not find the receipt. It is very easy to change the suspension yourself (after all you did it on your sami.) It took me about 4 hours with normal hand tools. (no air tools as the trailer was in storage) good luck, Lance
