Trailer parts at princess auto?

Does princess auto have decent quality trailer parts? All these posts on how much a new double axel trailer costs has me thinking it’s time to invest some $$ and elbow grease on my 2010 venture trailer. Springs seem shot as well as a few nuts and bolts need replacing. One new set of calliper / rotors a year ago but the other axel is from the last owner, 2 years ago and several thousand Kilometres I’m guessing. I’ll also need to convert everything to electric over hydraulic. I know how backed up and expensive the shops are, I thought I should Learn to maintain my trailer (I’ve replaced bearings and raceways before) but brakes are a next level task..

Springs don't look too bad but lordco carries them too. Buy the best ones you can, this reminds me I gotta replace mine too.
 
I bought the complete Kodiak disc brakes from Lordco a few years and did everything myself on my dual axle Road Runner trailer. The only mistake I made was not replacing the Chinese bearings with Timken after the first year. It was a fairly easy conversion from the old drum setup.
 
You're just looking for something to wrench on. Sit down, watch some ****** TV for a bit. Take a load off.

Haha....always something. Trailer is the easiest to overlook and the biggest PITA when it fails on the side of the highway. The racket the leafsprings make in the marina freak me out, accident waiting to happen.
