Spring adhesive for rubber?
Is there an adhesive that would work for helping to secure a section of a horse mat to the overload spring or would something like Gorilla glue be as good as anything?

- I agree with the last couple posts. Epoxy is not flexible. I rescind my previous statement, I think epoxy would come apart.
Still think big zip ties or hose clamps recessed a bit into the rubber would help or work on it's own.
I've clamped felling wedges onto my lower overload springs with square U bolts... poor mans lower stable loads.
I lost one, but it was after running at least 100 miles of washboard fire roads without the camper on the truck, combined with 80psi in the rear tires. Other than that, they've stayed in place for up to a couple years at a time. Have removed them a couple times when comfort was priority over capacity. - Amazing Goop would be my choice.
Get both areas very clean and let the glue dry for at least 24 hours. - I am wanting to secure the rubber to the spring as shown here(Not mine but similar) with all the zip ties around it..
- Polyurethane roofing caulk available at HD.
When it takes several days to dry, it form rubber-like stuff with huge adhesion.
I use it to rebuild shoes. - Ya, I think epoxy is the only glue that may work and cure it under pressure.
Consider dado-ing the rubber pad slightly and install a couple heavy duty zippy ties or hose clamps around the pad and spring in addition to the epoxy maybe? - Heavy duty epoxy.... Even construction adhesive won't withstand the elements under the trailer.
