I picked up a brand new Iron bull 10K 20ft equipment trailer a couple weeks ago. I wasn't satisfied with the lack of paint of the U-bolts and leaf spring shackles so I took it all apart painted the necessary parts. I am in the reassemble process and have ran into a snag while rehanging the front axle. The rear side of the leaf springs are about an inch and a quarter closer together that the hangers. I did a bunch of measuring and found that the front right hanger was welded on at an angle and is causing a majority of the problem. The first picture shows the front hanger. I also measured the rest of the hangers and none of them seem quit right. The next two pictures show the distance between the hangers front to back as well as where we measured right and left. What are your opinions on this? Is this just how trailers come now or is this unusual? I would think this should be covered under warranty but I'm not sure if I trust a dealership to get it right either. Do you think its worth trying to get it warrantied and having a dealership try to fix it or should I just try to fix it myself? Do you think all 6 hangers should be cut off and be welded back on or just the front right? What would you guys do if you were in this situation? I don't feel that just forcing the back of the leaf spring over and isn't the right thing to do.
