Looks like my project for this winter is to replace the springs on my tandem, Magic Trail trailer. I would appreciate any recommendations as to the best place to purchase the supplies and, if anyone has done this job recently, an idea on how much I might expect to be paying for said supplies. Thanks in advance.

I buy all my trailer parts from Eddie English in Milton. But he's a lot closer to me than some of the others in Pensacola. I recently replaced my springs on my trailer. I put 2500lb springs on each and they were around $22-$24 a piece I think plus the hardware which was an extra 8 bucks I think.
Just make sure you have air tools and the possible cutting wheel if needed. Oh and lots of beer. I broke my damn finger when I changed my springs out. For some reasonwhen the hammer makes a thud sound instead of that metal to metal sound, usually your finger is in the way. But I didn't have air tools either until my neighbor comes over after I done broke my finger and asks if I want to borrow his air tools:banghead:banghead |

I can't think of the name of the place,but there is a boat trailer and supply place just out of milton on Hwy 90 that has everything you would need and they are very reasonable.If you come down avalon to 90 and take a left they are just up the road on the right.When i remember the name i will post it and the number,if someone doesn't chime in with it soon.The above mentioned place is the one i was talking about.

If you are in Mobile nothing beats Stauter Boat Works off 3 Knotch Rd.
Be glad to give out the # if needed. Anything and everything youve ever needed for your trailer and quality stuff. I just replaced Hubs, Springs, and Ubolts on my trailer |

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like Eddie English gets the nod from most everybody, so I'll take the trip over the bay and see him. I have the tools, and a cutting wheel is going to be needed for this job as all the bolts are rusted and flaking. The margaritas will have to wait until done, I don't want to cut my hand off in the process.
