Thanks for checking out our customer spotlight for August 2024!

We're featuring a Trailer Blocks kit installation on a rare 1968 Apache Eagle tent trailer owned by Jim in Arizona!

The goal was a 1" lift to properly accommodate larger 12" wheels which were an upgrade over the 8" factory size.

Notice the stock use of a single diagonal U-bolt and bent tie-plate in the original 1968 factory suspension design. 

The Trailer Blocks Kit for 1200lb to 1800lb square axle with anodized blocks and heavy-duty tie-plates was selected. The leaf springs were also restored to as close to original specifications as possible when reconditioned. Note that the Trailer Blocks kit has a total of 4 U-bolts per axle. 

Thanks for sending in your installation photos Jim! The peace of mind afforded in updating and restoring 1968 equipment is surely welcome. We hope your trailer ride quality has improved with the addition of the larger wheels.

As a reminder: we are always looking for interesting trailers to feature so if you are planning to install a Trailer Blocks product sometime soon, please snap an image or two and send it in. If your trailer is featured on our blog we will send you a discount for use with future orders.
