- DWDave WarthenAug 14, 20251.0Called them on the phone about parts. Then went in to the store salesman just wanted to fight about what I needed instead of listening to what I had. Terrible service inside store. Save your time skip over this store. Went back to the other trailer shop and got the parts I need parts will be here in a couple of days.
Frequently Asked Questions About East Idaho Trailer Parts
I currently have a hydraulic brake axle set up. Can I easily switch over to an electric brake axle set up?
Yes you can, All you have to do is purchase the electric brake axles. Once you have your axles, you will cut the wires to the hydraulic pump, and from those wires you will connect the brake power wire and the ground wire to the electric brake axles.
What is the difference between under slung and over slung?
The axle position about the spring needs to be considered before building. The options are "overslung". where the spring is mounted over the axle, or "underslung" where the spring is mounted under the axle.
There is no advantage to either system in regards to trailer strength or ride, but does affect the height of the chassis/tongue above the road and depending on the load can aid or hinder trailer stability.
What is the difference/benefits between leaf springs and torsion type axles?
Majority of trailers have leaf-spring axles; however, torsion axles have been increasingly used due to their superiority in longevity, stability, and safety. Leaf springs provide cushion in a trailers suspension by attaching to axles with U-bolts. On torsion axle trailers, the cushioning function is built into the axle. Self-contained and sealed, torsion axles resist rust and corrosion better than traditional leaf spring axles. Torsion axle trailers lower the center of gravity of the load you are hauling, thereby providing more stability for the trailer, but if you have a flat tire a torsion axle requires a spare wheel before you are able to continue pulling the trailer. A torsion axle trailer also has the drawback of a low variable-rate, giving less flexibility when loaded or going over harsh terrain. Some experts say that leaf springs are the better option while torsion axles are the best option.
Leaf Spring Pros: Locate and control the axle. Superior stability when loaded. Easier to lift.
Leaf Spring Cons: Harder to tune for ride. Heavy weight. Prone to axle wrap. Take up a lot of space. Susceptible to noise.
Torsion Axle Pros: Durable. Easy to make minor adjustments in ride height.
Torsion Axle Cons: Spring rate not progressive. Limited wheel travel. Few aftermarket options
Can I switch from a hydraulic brake axle setup to an electric brake axle setup at East Idaho Trailer Parts?
Yes, you can switch by purchasing electric brake axles and connecting their brake power and ground wires after disconnecting the hydraulic pump wires.
What is the difference between underslung and overslung axle setups?
Overslung means the spring is mounted over the axle, and underslung means the spring is under the axle; this affects chassis height and can influence trailer stability depending on the load.
What are the benefits of leaf springs versus torsion type axles?
Leaf springs provide better stability under load and are easier to lift, while torsion axles offer better longevity and corrosion resistance but have limited wheel travel and fewer aftermarket options.
