I have an utility trailer with this set up (will take pics if you like), and put the brackets back as far as is safe with no weight on them, cause under compression the spring gets longer. If the bracket is too far forward the spring will bind under compression, or to far back it will come apart.Muggnz wrote:
Are there any do's or don't about positioning the rear bracket in relation to the spring? So that it won't fall off either whilst travelling or jacking the TD up. Or whatever . . .
Also how much room should there be between the spring slipper & the slipper guide bracket? Is there a recommended minimum and/or maximum distance? The brackets I was sold for my springs have about 10mm clearance both sides & 40mm in the vertical plane.

The 2 slipper leaves are completely flat . So I'll have to hope that gravity holds them in place. In fact none of the slipper ended springs in the Trojan ( The Best available locally ) catalogue have anything other than flat ends
