Hi,
I have a 87 load-rite tandem. I have noisy spings and I have come to the conclusion that my sping bushings need attention. I have NEVER worked on leaf springs before and my question is, what is the proper way to jack a loaded trailer and support it properly (tention on the springs)to do a bushing job one axel at a time? I dont want to go removing bolts and have the spring tention do bad things. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Denny

Ayuh,....

You can jack under the frame, rather than the axle... Then Block it up...

You want NO tension on the axle/ springs you're workin' on....
