Several years ago I was looking for a new trailer for my 18' Campion Cuddy Cabin, which was mounted on a single axel trailer with out brakes. I found a tandem trailer, with brakes, returned by the original buyer after 6 weeks of use and traded it in on a new galvanized one.<br /><br />It was great to get it, as I was able to get for half of the original cost.<br /><br />My problem is, with the tandem wheels, there is not much spring action due to four sets of leaf springs and not two. <br /><br />I towed my boat to mainland Mexico and upon returning home, the bulk head had to be refastened, as the roads down there aren't the best and caused the bulkhead to come loose, due to the lack spring action.<br /><br />I was wondering if anyone has removed the center leaf from the leaf spring to attain a softer ride. It has three leaves, the main on top, the curved center one and the fairly flat one on the bottom. I want to remove the center spring.<br />I'm sure I would still be in the gross weight limit of the trailer, as it has a 3500 lb. capacity rating, which is an overkill for my boat.<br /><br />I checked a couple of sites for diffrent springs, but the only replacement springs of that style were three leaf.<br /><br />
