NAG Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I am in the process of ading suspension to my fish house. I have a 18' V-nose house. I am going to be adding 3000# leaf springs. I have a couple questions. They sell 3000# single leaf springs and 3000# multi leaf springs. Is one better than another? Also, I noticed that the springs are 1 3/4" wide. What size steel tubing do you use to stick them in? 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" that is 1/4" thick or do you just recommend using 2" X 2" that is 1/8" thick?

chris_gillespie Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You will want 11 gauge tubing, which is .120" thick. Structural steel tubing in the range you need comes in gauge sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
