Terry speaks the truth. It's not difficult to change springs and associated hardware...with the boat off the trailer..., a few 4 1/2" cut off wheels, large hammer, some money, impact wrench and off you go! I think I've done it about 8 to 10 times on various trailers.
I upgraded my springs the last time from 1750# to 2000#, made a big difference in the trailer's stability. I think it was a $5 difference per spring. Oh yeah, remember to specify the 9/16" bolts! I've seen people use 1/2" bolts with a nylon spacer, no good in my opinion.
