• ¾" Rubber: Refers to the ¾-inch rubber component/bushing used in the suspension assembly, depending on the specific kit design.

• 5¼" Tall Front Hanger: The front spring hanger is approximately 5¼ inches tall.

• 4½" Tall Rear Hanger: The rear hanger is approximately 4½ inches tall.

• 10K: Indicates the suspension/hanger system is intended for a 10,000-lb capacity class (typically associated with a 10,000-lb-rated trailer axle/suspension setup).

Function

The kit's primary function is to mount and locate the trailer's leaf springs on the trailer frame, allowing the axle to move vertically as the trailer travels over bumps. The hangers transfer suspension loads into the trailer frame while the slipper springs provide the suspension and load-carrying function.
