Trailer question

[chevelleparker]

I have a 2006 Parker 2120 with a pacific trailer that I bought new. Since new the trailer equalizer would sit crooked but level out when boat was off. Just this week I replaced all shackles springs and equalizer with brand new and it still sits crooked? Been like this from day one and is not a problem but wondering what is the reason?

Do you have shakels on the outsides of the springs?

[/QUOTE no, the spring bolts directly to the hanger.

The only thing I can think of is that your springs are too soft for that amount of weight. Once the boat is loaded they compress and get longer but the only place to distribute that extra length is by tilting the equalizer like in your photos.

This doesn't make much sense though since you have fresh springs on there. Although I feel like my springs are generally much flatter than yours. Maybe a flatter spring with a heavier weight rating would be the solution?

There are equations that I can't see in the pix's. How much drop in the Ball mount and does the trailer sit level when loaded? I see it a lot where the toung of the trailer is down hill and not sitting level. This in turn loads extra weight on the front axle and causes your problem. I have a adjustable ball mount. With the load on the truck , it squats a Lil. But with this ball mount it's adjustable to keep the trailer level and thus keep the load even on all axles. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hi...o5tI29DTrHPUFdvDwTUwMkuB0yDvghyQaArnkEALw_wcB
