    2015 RT 188 LEAF SPRINGS

    Looking pretty weak, anybody replace and upgrade? What size and where purchased. Do it yourself? Thanks.

    I suggest e-trailer.com. I have bought trailer brake parts from them and find their website to be very helpful. They have good reviews of each part including video’s that helps with your purchase and installation.
    I have not replaced the springs on my RT188 trailer, but it seems pretty straight forward. My springs have been replaced, but it was under warranty.

    I think this is the correct spring but you will want to check the dimensions and axle rating.

    I replaced mine with ones from Tractor Supply as I needed them with zero notice. The ones I bought were essentially the same for capacity but if I did it again I would likely bump it up.
