Torsion axle trailer conversion

[Floridaman79]

I am in the process of rebuilding my 2020 210 FSH trailer and something I would have been interested in purchasing would have been a torsion axle conversion. What I found out is the shorelandr springs are not a standard size, cost 2 to 3 times a standard spring, are hard to find, and only last me 3 years. Not to mention I also needed the equalizer bar kit.
I looked online at torsion axles that were in stock and couldnt find any that would give enough clearance between the tire and fender but would think there would be an opportunity for a company such as JBP to pick out some axles from tie down engineering or similar that would work as a replacement on the shorelandr trailers . It would have been a custom build for me but I didnt have time so ended up ordering the springs again.

Sorry to hear about your trailer woes…. Sounds like you need to get that crc 665 by the 25 gallon drum!

The actual boat trailer part of our trailers’ sits in an axle truck…there was that thread about a member here / 210 FSH owner slipping a piece of aluminum bar stock in between the truck and the actual trailer to get the boat away from the fenders. Sounds like the only option would be to get a more standard axle truck assembly and swap out the shoreland’r axle truck, or perhaps cut the axle hangers off of the truck and weld on new hangers that would hold standard springs, and use the stock axles themselves.

Did you have to replace the spring hanger bushings as well?

Could you post the part numbers you got from shoreland’r for other members?
