Thanks so much for the replies, everyone.
I'm a bit short on case these days. I have the money to afford the heavier springs, but not to also update the shackles, hangers, and other components. I intend to replace all four springs, of course. This being said, should I go ahead and go with slightly heavier duty springs? Or just the OEM rated ones? Some of you mentioned that the trailer will rider rougher with the heavier duty springs. Also, with heavier duty springs, do I run the risk of damaging the shackles and hangers?
Forget HD, OEM nomenclature, get the actual rating and go up 800 to 1500 per axle. I went from 1750 rated (1750 x 2 = 3500 pound axle) to 2250 keeping the same axles and it has never ridden better. Mine were sagging so bad it was causing alignment issues.
